The BBC complaints dept has a brilliant system. I asked a general
question about the availability of a programme and the reply was sent
in Base64 encoded mail. I managed to decipher this eventually but sent
a formal email complaint (in plain text) about not being able to view
it. Their response came -you guessed it - in Base64 encoded mail. But
it must help their statistics concerning complaints, since this one
was not pursued for lack of time on my part.
