That character is allowed, if you use the 8bit
content-transfer-encoding (which shouldn't be done in email).
Otherwise, you must either use quoted-printable encoding (preferred
for messages that are supposed to be readable), or base64.

The real question is: why did VM choose to use base64 instead of
quoted-printable?
