Scott, I've seen some FP's (or possibly rather just simply legit mail) tagged for BASE64 coming from AOL 8 (maybe others) when there is an attachment and no text in the body of the message.  I'm wondering if this is possibly a bug in the BASE64 test, and if so, could/should it be fixed?  An example follows with the base64 stuff removed (I have three of these in a series of communications):
