We can and must do better as qualifing base64 encoding as cruft. 

We have to understand what we sent and what we recieve.


So please avoid to open with  "No".
Take time to craft an email.  Do understand that it is email.
Email is great, not as great as mankind, but still great.
With the greatness comes diversity. Yes, we have differences.
Accept the differences and go for willingness to understand each other.
