Most every attachment nowadays is encoded like that.  For example, an html email from 
Outlook Express will have images
contained in the mail like that.

Subject: [iMS] Base 64 mail


I'm thinking of adding a new filter to my spam engine based on 
Content-Transfer-Encoding of base64. Has anyone gotten
anything legitimate using this encoding type? Is it common in Europe or Asia for 
normal mail? I know a number of
spammers use it to 'hide' their content from content scanners.
Thanks
