garbled text in moderator notifications?

We have a new problem today: moderator notifications are coming to our in boxes with garbled text - we can't read/approve messages via email because we can't read them

Pending messages are coming in to our inboxes are illegible with text like this:

"SGkgTW9tcyw8cD48L3A+PGRpdj48YnI+PC9kaXY+PGRpdj5JIGFtIHBvc3RpbmcgdGhpcyBm "

We can see the text normally via web interface in the pending queue. But this makes moderating on the go or via our inbox impossible. It also makes it really hard to do the manual rejection with reason thing because we don't have a legible message in our inbox to forward back to poster. Can you please let engineering know?

Thank you so much for all your hard work.
