Hello Tweets,
Is anyone seeing the "Gobbledygood" messages from anything other than
the ABA's Birdingonthe.net replacement, birding.aba.org? I.E. is
anyone seeing this issue when checking using their phone's email
program, a webmail site (gmail, hotmail, etc.), a program run on their
computer (outlook, etc.)? It appears to me that it's an issue with
Android smartphones sending out something in a way that's slightly
non-standard that trips up the ABA's site.

The Gobbledygook is actually the original text of the message encoded
in base64 which is used by email programs to send attachments and
other data beyond the normal "plaintext." If you ever find yourself
with a siting encoded this way that you'd like to read immediately you
can paste the "junk" in the bottom box of the below website and it
will convert it back to english:

You can also try these alternatives to the ABA's site, which seem to
be handling the messages just fine:
