Thank you for the super-detailed bug report!
The mailing list manager idiotically mangled the message, adding a signature without respecting the content-transfer-encoding of base64.
My guess is that caused the Python base64 decoder to fail - the message body is no longer valid base64, so fair enough. I'll see if I can reproduce this locally.
It would probably be worth adding code to Mailpile to try to detect and cope with this kind of mangling, this is going to annoy the geeks in the audience who subscribe to mailing lists managed by buggy software - kernel.org is kinda a big deal. Have you seen many of these?
(PS. What are annotated tags? ;-)
Not sure how to trigger it, but I'm certain it's not all base64 encoded mails.
Both the snippet and the expanded view of a mail simply shows raw base64 encoded cruft. (Kind hard to read this by hand ;)

(PS, what's the deal with unannotated tags?)
