Some client emails are garbled - look encrypted

I noticed that sometimes an email to a client (and even emails that go to me) come in all scrambled or garbled. It looks as if the email is encrypted or something. I copied a sample below. Any idea why this might happen?

It has something to do with Base64 encoding. Emails sent to Outlook look fine. But if opened in SmarterMail, they are all garbage.

 

Anyway, a workaround was to switch WHMCS to use smtp mail rather than phpmail. I tried another test and it worked fine. So, must be some php setting.
