You can read it by copying the block and pasting to the box on

http://www.opinionatedgeek.com/dotnet/tools/Base64Decode/safedecode.aspx

and pressing decode.  The message is originally sent like that, and the
software that reads the mail is supposed to know to decode it (it's in base
64 encoding) before showing it to a human.  I am guessing that whatever
software compiles the digest either doesn't know how to deal with that or
chooses not to, maybe as a security thing.
