I see some user is "always free" of this issue, may be he is using the right settings for our mailing-list manager.
It doesn't happen to me :-)
You can search for a post 2016-09-12, "Garbage at the end of my emails" where we commented on this.
It happens to people using "Base64". The hack for the moment (years) is not use Base64.
The list software adds a footer with instructions to unsubscribe in plain text, and this breaks.
I understand it happens on all lists.
I've not found any specific settings in Thunderbird to disable Base64. But probably I discovered a "workaround" now by selecting the output text encoding different than UTF-8, which I suppose is the cause of this problem.
Very unlikely. ASCII-centric texts are almost always(*) QP-encoded simply because that produces a smaller mail than base64 encoding would.
Then again, anything can happen with Microsoft products (which seem to be involved in the transmission history of your mails)…
No, currently I'm using Windows 10 and Mozilla Thunderbird over my old hotmail.com account.

(*) If more than 1/6 of the bytes in the body are non-ASCII, switching from QP to base64 is preferable. I doubt any mail client implements it..
The solution with Thunderbird mail client _apparently_ is to use: Tools->Options->Display->Advanced->output text encoding other than UTF-8 which results in Thunderbird switching to encode in Base64. Now I set it as West (Windows-1252) Regards, -- Marco Calistri
