You need to understand there are two types of email plain text and HTML
The messed up text happens when the sender and client don't mix
What are you using to send ?

International Space Station Astronauts are Calling CQ Students ?
ARISS-US program education proposal deadline is November 15, 2017
September 18, 2017: The Amateur Radio on the International Space
Station (ARISS) program is seeking proposals from U.S. schools,
museums, science centers and community youth organizations to host
radio contacts with an orbiting crew member aboard the International
Space Station (ISS) between July 1 and December 31, 2018.
Each year, ARISS provides tens of thousands of students with oppor-
tunities to learn about space technologies and space communications
through the exploration of Amateur Radio. The program provides
learning opportunities by connecting students to astronauts aboard
the International Space Station (ISS) through a partnership between
NASA, the American Radio Relay League, the Radio Amateur Satellite
Corporation and other Amateur Radio organizations and worldwide
space agencies. The program?s goal is to inspire students worldwide,
to pursue interests and careers in science, technology, engineering
and mathematics (STEM) through Amateur Radio.
Educators overwhelmingly report that student participation in the
ARISS program inspires an interest in STEM subjects and in STEM
careers. Ninety-two percent of educators who have participated in
the program have indicated that ARISS provided ideas for encourag-
ing student exploration, discussion, and participation, and 78
percent said that ARISS was effective in stimulating student
interest in STEM.
ARISS is looking for organizations that will draw large numbers
of participants and integrate the contact into a well-developed
education plan. Students can learn about satellite communications,
wireless technology, science research conducted on the space
station, what it is like to work in space, radio science, and any
related STEM subject. Students learn to use Amateur Radio to talk
directly to an astronaut and ask their STEM-related questions.
ARISS will help educational organizations locate Amateur Radio
groups who can assist with equipment for this once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity for students.
The proposal deadline for 2018 contacts is November 15, 2017.
The ARISS website has additional details on expectations, proposal
guidelines, and the proposal form. See:
http://www.ariss.org/hosting-an-ariss-contact-in-the-us.html
****************************************************************************

ARISS is always glad to receive listener reports for the above contacts.
ARISS thanks everyone in advance for their assistance. Feel free to send
your reports to aj9n@xxxxx.xxx or aj9n@xxx.xxx.
Listen for the ISS on the downlink of 145.8? MHz.
**********************************
*********************************************

Hi Zach,
Thanks for your input. I made the recommended changes. The test I ran
does indeed show the ascii text in the message source instead of a bunch
of jammed together character strings that remind me of satellite telemetry.
On a side note - the news content editors don't have the keys to the
server room where the box running Mailman resides. I've heard we'd need
to be careful about tweaking global settings ... at the risk of wrongly
formatted? messages for all users. But I'm willing try a few tweaks
external to the server (aka my copy of Thunderbird) to see if we can
improve the readability problem.

As a follow up to the message I sent Zach previously. It appears that
the Mailman system is changing that Transfer-Encoding ...
Message header of a local copy I sent to myself with Thunderbird and

Hi Zach,

<snip>
So, I waited for amsat-bb to send me the message I just sent ...
Message header of that message received via the amsat-bb Mailman server:
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
SGkgWmFjaCwKClRoYW5rcyBmb3IgeW91ciBpbnB1dC4gSSBtYWRlIHRoZSByZWNvbW1lbmRlZCBj

biB0aGUgbWVzc2FnZSBzb3VyY2UgaW5zdGVhZCBvZiBhIGJ1bmNoIApvZiBqYW1tZWQgdG9nZXRo
<snip>
This gives me a little more information to send to the volunteers
running the mail system. Something along the route changed the listserve
message to base64.

I have noticed that the mailing list software seems to insert carriage
returns every 76-78 characters before resending the plain text format,
where I did not do that.
For those of us who primarily or frequently consume
email via mobile platforms, the
text ends up looking like this. The smaller screen will
automatically reflow text but
the mailman software introduces hard carriage returns
and makes the text look more
like a haiku or a weird poem. It is very difficult to read
properly. And to be clear, this
is not a problem with my email client on my mobile
device, but it is a problem
caused by the mailman software combined with the
small screen of a mobile device.
It is very annoying.
JoAnne, in your raw email, I see the following fields:
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; Format="flowed"
Hopefully that will help in troubleshooting as well.
Thanks,
Jeremy / KO6RM

Thanks for your input. I made the recommended changes. The test I ran
does indeed show the ascii text in the message source instead of a bunch
of jammed together character strings that remind me of satellite telemetry.
<snip>
So, I waited for amsat-bb to send me the message I just sent ...
Message header of that message received via the amsat-bb Mailman server:
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
SGkgWmFjaCwKClRoYW5rcyBmb3IgeW91ciBpbnB1dC4gSSBtYWRlIHRoZSByZWNvbW1lbmRlZCBj

biB0aGUgbWVzc2FnZSBzb3VyY2UgaW5zdGVhZCBvZiBhIGJ1bmNoIApvZiBqYW1tZWQgdG9nZXRo
<snip>
This gives me a little more information to send to the volunteers
running the mail system. Something along the route changed the listserve
message to base64.

Hello
Working my way down a list of satellites and now it is time to try AO-73
Funcube
I have a Funcube Dongle Pro + which I can pipe to PSK decoder
I also have a Tigertronics Singalink and a ICOM706 MKII G with doppler
tracking
Will the 1200 baud BPSK go ok through the Tigertronics Signalink ?
UZ7HO decoder will be used initially
Then I will work out the data ware house.
Thanks
Andrew

International Space Station Astronauts are Calling CQ Students ?
ARISS-US program education proposal deadline is November 15, 2017
September 18, 2017: The Amateur Radio on the International Space
Station (ARISS) program is seeking proposals from U.S. schools,
museums, science centers and community youth organizations to host
radio contacts with an orbiting crew member aboard the International
Space Station (ISS) between July 1 and December 31, 2018.
Each year, ARISS provides tens of thousands of students with oppor-
tunities to learn about space technologies and space communications
through the exploration of Amateur Radio. The program provides
learning opportunities by connecting students to astronauts aboard
the International Space Station (ISS) through a partnership between
NASA, the American Radio Relay League, the Radio Amateur Satellite
Corporation and other Amateur Radio organizations and worldwide
space agencies. The program?s goal is to inspire students worldwide,
to pursue interests and careers in science, technology, engineering
and mathematics (STEM) through Amateur Radio.
Educators overwhelmingly report that student participation in the
ARISS program inspires an interest in STEM subjects and in STEM
careers. Ninety-two percent of educators who have participated in
the program have indicated that ARISS provided ideas for encourag-
ing student exploration, discussion, and participation, and 78
percent said that ARISS was effective in stimulating student
interest in STEM.
ARISS is looking for organizations that will draw large numbers
of participants and integrate the contact into a well-developed
education plan. Students can learn about satellite communications,
wireless technology, science research conducted on the space
station, what it is like to work in space, radio science, and any
related STEM subject. Students learn to use Amateur Radio to talk
directly to an astronaut and ask their STEM-related questions.
ARISS will help educational organizations locate Amateur Radio
groups who can assist with equipment for this once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity for students.
The proposal deadline for 2018 contacts is November 15, 2017.
The ARISS website has additional details on expectations, proposal
guidelines, and the proposal form. See:
http://www.ariss.org/hosting-an-ariss-contact-in-the-us.html
****************************************************************************

ARISS is always glad to receive listener reports for the above contacts.
ARISS thanks everyone in advance for their assistance. Feel free to send
your reports to aj9n@xxxxx.xxx or aj9n@xxx.xxx.
Listen for the ISS on the downlink of 145.8? MHz.
