I don't claim to be an email expert. I've received Vladimir's email with
the "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit" header. The body was plaintext, not
base64 encoded. I have checked how the netdev mailing list distributed
Vladimir's email, its body is plaintext as well, not base64 encoded. Only
the linux-arm-kernel mailing list distributed the body base64 encoded, the
header is "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64".

And the attachment you've provided seems to be from the raw output of
lore.kernel.org/all which seems to put together the email distribution from
all mailing lists.

raw from all:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240129125241.gu4srgufad6hpwor@skbuf/raw

raw from netdev:

https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20240129125241.gu4srgufad6hpwor@skbuf/raw

raw from linux-arm-kernel:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20240129125241.gu4srgufad6hpwor@skbuf/raw

I don't know which mailing list mailbot looks at in case of an email is
sent with multiple mailing lists being CC'd or TO'd. It seems to be that it
looked at linux-arm-kernel in this instance.
