More information: to decode, first I save the message as a text file
(i.e., I don't use the clipboard). Mozilla offers the possibility of
saving the message as EML (mail) file or TXT file (my usual choice). The
only difference is the presence of the mail header. BUT I have
discovered that if I save a file as EML, extra spaces appear at the
beginning of some lines... The same problem Carl avoided via UNPAD.
