Hi Chris,

I have nothing that can decode the message you posted.  You may want to give
the MT-NewsWatcher authors a nice kick in the ass and use a properly
functioning newsreader.  I know MT-NewsWatcher is a popular Mac newsreader,
but as someone who had to write a news message decoder, I can tell you it is
one of the worst newsreaders when it comes to posting what is even remotely
a valid news message <sigh>

A MIME message split using old-style Unset multipart style is definitely one
of the worst possible ideas. This is definitely not supported by any
standard :-(
