  • [ANN] filter for text-only base64-encoded msgs [LINUX][FOSS]

    Sometimes you'll get an email - without attachments, just text - and
    that email is base64-encoded for no good reason. Spammers have been
    known to do that in order to bypass spam filters. Mailing list soft-
    ware has been unwisely configured to send out encoded messages. Or clueless users tweaked their client the wrong way...

    The end results:

    1. any rule in your mail processing chain matching on message body
    will fail;

    2. ungreppable messages end up in your stored email.

    Version 2.0 includes the following improvements:

    * adds an "X-Original-Content-Transfer-Encoding:" header
    to filtered messages

    * bug fixes!
