well I did it with a perl hack i.e. skip the first 2 bytes and
send to stdout every other byte...

Don't top-post on mailing lists. It makes threads harder to read.

Also, either your mail client is broken or you're not replying
correctly. One way or another the standard In-Reply-To header is
missing, so the threading is even more screwed up. Note that the Subject
header is irrelevant for threading purposes in most mail clients.
