Well, OWA is dumb as heck.
It has no idea of multipart mixed, apparently and freely reëncodes emails you sent over it.
Avoid it like plague.

Unfortunately, I cannot view most messages in my e-mail client - I only see an attachment of the HTML file. It appears as if the plaintext version of the message is missing and the HTML version is classified incorrectly. This does not regard messages from the OSVM bot (GitHub) only but also normal messages sent by Eliot, Marcel, et al. - but at the same time, the messages sent by the same person to squeak-dev look fine on my end.

My subscription settings for both lists are identical. I also noted that the pipermail archives do not look identical, but this is probably unrelated.
