In older releases, base64 and quoted-printable encoded message bodies
were not decoded for display in the admindb interface. This is a bug
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/629738>. It was fiuxed in
Mailman 2.1.4.

Install Mailman 2.1.14 from source. If you are using a RedHat package,
see the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/KYCB> and the mailman-developers
post linked therefrom before you do this.
Alternatively, you can copy the base64 encoded text and paste it into a
stand alone decoder.
Or, as Ralf suggests, if you set admin_immed_notify to Yes for the list,
you will get an email notice of the held post which should be readable.
