Gmail API encoding html and css in addition to base64

Question

I'm pulling some mail from the Gmail API. I've got some sample body text here. This is after base-64 decoding. This is the body of a sample email from my inbox.

As you can see, after base-64 decoding it, part of it is decoded correctly, such as the title nad the url. The garbage bellow is the content that was originally html and css, I believe, so it makes sense that it would have been encoded differently on Google's side. Does anyone know what encoding this is?

I've tried:

        `mb_convert_encoding($body_string, "UTF-8", "Windows-1252");`

and

        `mb_convert_encoding($body_string, "UTF-8", "ISO-8859-1");`

With no luck.

Did you request format=FULL or format=RAW on the message? Can you provide the MIME* and Content* headers from the email? — Eric D, Jan 05 '16 at 18:30
