Rick, no, the BODY text filtering searches everywhere, including inside
binary attachments.

Your best bet is to assign those nasty words with very little weight, don't
use very short words, and/or try to match a phrase instead, or use trailing
punctuation.

For example, I've found that although they are darn common in spam, I can't
use these with a weight any higher than 1:

tit
t1t
mlm
m1m
hgh

because of their false positives in binary attachments and BASE64 encodings
of attachments.

Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] Words found in encoded file atachments


Is it possible to exclude the filters from being triggered when finding
words in the file attachment encoding in the message body? I have been
getting some false positives on some nasty words that were arbitrarily
formed in the encoding segments
