Not the master GURU, but you are sending your messages scrambled in ROT13,
where every letter is replaced by a letter 13 characters from it. When you
forward the message, it runs it through ROT13 again, which unscrambles it.
Somehow you have set up ROT13 as your default.
ROT13 is used to transmit messages that are offensive. That way only those
who are interested in such messages have to read them. It is not intended to
provide any kind of security.
