It's simply Base 64 encoding. I'm not sure how it got there, and that could be because I've killfiled most of the people in this newsgroup with a 2-digit IQ already and could be missing a post (I'm keeping John around for entertainment value, if anyone wondered). If you take the characters and Base64 unencode to a readable format of choice, it is simply: "On Sat, 23 Mar 2013 00:19:52 +0400, John Lewis <john...@frontier.com> wrote: > On Fri, 22 Mar 2013 23:01:18 +0400, "Andrew Rybenkov" > <aryb...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> On Fri, 22 Mar 2013 22:41:50 +0400, John Lewis <john...@frontier.com> wrote: >> >>> BTW, you can indeed now preorder the game on GOG....
