The fault lies with the list management software.

The trigger is your email client or it's configuration.

Why it uses base64 to send plain text makes no sense.  It is more
efficient to send plain text instead.

It is certainly not the receivers fault (although it does become their
problem unfortunately).  There is no correct way to decode the invalid
message that results when the sender uses base64 and the list management
software appends ascii to it.  The result is simply invalid.
