I only wonder which component is at fault here, the producer side (it
gives the following headers),

 Content-Type: Text/Plain; charset=iso-8859-7
 Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
 (and the _absence_ of any MIME chunkwrapping)

or the receiver side. (Al)Pine and derivates displays the message
fine, marc.info does not, and gmail presents the body after literally
taking a stab at it.
