Assuming that the base64 encoding was done to cope with UTF8 in the  
source, is there no way we can improve the distribution situation? The  
vagaries of NNTP are not my strong point (by any means) but it strikes me  
that UTF8 will be fairly common in messages and attachments on ruby-talk.  
Did the old gateway address this somehow?

Btw. just wanted to thank both you and James for the time and resources  
spent on the gateway - it's a valuable service, and we're all lucky to  
have you working on it.

Cheers,
