If you are really seeing this in the content it isn't base64. It's quoted printable.
I guess WLM could probably do a better job of interpreting incorrectly specified
data; otherwise it could be viewed as a case of GIGO.
To test this idea try saving the E-mail, make only that change and then open it.
Another thing you could do is capture all the (HTML) content
and use it in your own Forward of it which does use BASE64
to see what it should look like when using that encoding method.
Good luck
