I think something has happened during transmission because the message  
you attached makes no references to text/x-vdhl that I see. The message  
consists of one part only. This single part has the type of  
application/octet-stream. I can save it just fine on a disk and then it  
looks quite sensibly like a text file with some escape sequences  
inserted. When I manually modify content-type to read text/plain, balsa  
displays it inline without any problem - base64 decoding works  
flawlessly.

Could you please describe in more detail the problem you see, maybe  
providing snapshots, if they would be informative?
