Scott:

We have seen that the Base64 test is also triggered for International
languages.  We used to have a high weight assigned to it but we noticed
when people write each other using Unicode or foreign (non-English)
characters the test is triggered.

Is this known?

Kami

It is *very* common to use base64 encoding in E-mail.  That's the
standard 
way that file attachments are sent.

The key here is that there is no reason to send text/HTML segments using

base64, which is what the BASE64 test looks for.
