I am using a great 3rd-party Outlook add-on called PocketKnife Peek
(http://www.xintercept.com/pkpeek.htm) --which I highly recommend to anyone,
by the way--which allows me to view the plain text, html source and full
headers of any message (so I can avoid viruses and also see why filtering on
words doesn't always work for every message). Assuming I can see MIME
headers, what would I look for?

Most likely, you won't be able to see MIME headers (most mail clients let you see the standard E-mail headers, but I haven't seen any yet that display the MIME headers from the body of the E-mail).


If so, you should see the full E-mail headers, followed by at least one blank line, followed by some other headers (the key being the blank line, that separates the standard headers from the body of the E-mail and/or headers in the body). If you see "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64", that would indicate that the E-mail (or part of it) is base64 encoded.
