Can I get some advice in diagnosing a problem with the BBC iPlayer
complaints department please?

Using Firefox on WindowsXP I filled in their form asking when a
programme might be repeated since it was not on the iPlayer. 

I received an email response but this was unreadable in Pluto: the
body of the email was blank, and there was an HTML attachment of
computerese gibberish, e.g. PFNQQU4+PEZPTlQgZ  etc. 
It occurred to me to send the HTML attachment over to the W-XP side
and I tried to read it in Firefox there - but it still displayed the
same computerese.

I'm using SA-VRPC (RO 4.02) on a WindowsXP computer, with Netfetch and
Pluto.

My first contact with the BBC had been a simple question. I followed
that up with a formal complaint to the Complaints Dept about their
unreadable emailed response.  If I get yet another gibberish
communication, how would you advise me to describe these symptoms
when I fill in their laborious complaints form again? (There's a long
laborious lot of questions to narrow the field, but when finally it
comes to detailing the complaint it's a box of twitterish brevity!)
