Interesting; vim does not report this when I open the original file
here...

Since I got matching md5sums on the original and the files taken from my
email, we either have a situation where my emailer (gnus) is both encoding
and decoding incorrectly (so they cancel out, and I see no change), or I'm
guilty of cockpit error, or some peoples' emailers are doing something
incorrect when decoding. I'm not sure which it is, so I'll do some
research on my end to see if I'm messing it up or not... :-)
