Hello: I have recently been receiving some spams consisting of HTML attachments as base64 MIME encoded!
The spams are advertisements for purportedly cracked and pirated versions of Windows XP and other expensive payware products. Why do they send these attachments as base 64 MIME encoded? Is it for the purpose of attempting to conceal the fact that fraud and piracy is being promulgated thru spam as we report the spam to the machines at the abuse reporting addresses? The abuse examining machines probably aren't likely to care to decode the messages for content and they probably don't care about the content. The machines are probably interested only in reading the headers in order to determine the origin of the spam. The ISPs that send me this kind of spam don't seem to have any interest in stopping my spam. Do you think the payware outfits whose software is being pirated would take an active interest in stopping this kind of spam? If so, if anyone knows the email addresses of the MicroSoft and Symantec piracy investigation people, please let me know.
