You must be receiving something I don't. In this years batch of more than 
100 Paleonet-postings, only one (the one you mentioned) has been 
UU-encoded, and it was immediately followed by an apology for the mistake 
and the same text in plain. And I don't remember getting any UU-encoded 
messages last year either. Maybe the frequent encoded messages you 
receive are not from Paleonet?
