Corey (the OP) has been corresponding with the Basecamp people. As far 
as I understand, their parser does not like that the headers above do 
not include an explicit charset (according to the standards that 
implicitly means the charset is  ASCII). This is going to be fixed in 
Basecamp.

Even though MailMate behaves correctly I've just reconsidered how this 
works and I've decided that MailMate should always add a charset. I 
liked that MailMate did not generate more headers than necessary, but 
(for various reasons) in this case it is better to be explicit instead 
of implicit.
