Not worried regarding malicious mails or similar, but worried that
your mailclient cannot cope with base64 encoded messages :-)

looks fine with me, the base64 block decodes properly here. And even
if it doesn't like utf-8 for some reason, it would still decode
correctly in us-ascii (as in this case no non-ascii letters are
included.

Your client ignores the transfer-encoding and instead tries to
interpret it as byte-sqeuence or similar... That's really broken. the
g=== at the end is about the only stuff that remained intact from the
base64 message (that undecoded should also only contain ascii, so
whatever encoding your mailclient thinks it should be using, it is
broken)

ciao
