I just found an(other) example of legit E-mail using base64 encoding for text segments.  I would like to create an anti-filter for this (along with OWA for Exchange violations), however I'm having trouble identifying what piece of software or other identifying characteristic appears in the following message headers can be positively linked to this behavior:

In the message body, the text was displayed as both HTML and base64 encoded.  This appears to have been sent through an E-mail client, either PC-based or Web mail.  The only thing out of the ordinary is the note left by a program called eXclaimer which is used to tag outgoing E-mail with a disclaimer footer, and can also be used to archive outgoing E-mail (installed on Exchange Server).  Is it possible that this was sent by Outlook/Outlook Express and then redundantly base64 encoded by eXclaimer at the server?  If not, does anyone know what might have produced this behavior?

Thanks,

Matt
