Well. When I say legit I reference in that it is not a spam mail but a
regular mail communication to a user that been sent with a regular
mail program.
Like you using Eudora Version 5.1 to send a e-mail message directly to
me. This person was using QuickMail Pro 3 (mac) to send a e-mail to a
client on our service.
Reason for doing base64 ? None except poor software engineering and
client more then likely using default settings because they don't know
better.
There is no reason really for the base64 just that it does it anyways
in poor practice. I personally put in a word filter rule that now
gives this X-mailer a somewhat negative weight to compensate for it's
poor e-mail sending behavior.
Wasn't sure if anyone ever found a e-mail client that did post
standard message in base64 besides what we frequently see from
spammers with advertisment junk in it.

I know in the past it was discussion about legit base64 usage in mail.
I found what seems to be a legit e-mail where the mail client is
base64 encoding the message.
RSP The question here is what legitimate means.
RSP Does it mean that it is a legitimate E-mail, which uses base64 encoding for
RSP no apparent reason (which we are not too concerned about, as most people
RSP only use the BASE64 test towards the weighting system), or is it a
RSP legitimate mail that has a legitimate reason for using base64 encoding
RSP (which we would care about, as it could indicate that there are false
RSP positives that can't be prevented)?
