Public bug reported:
User is able to define e-mail filters in Thunderbird. This can cover
multiple fields like From:, To:, Subject: and Content . Using Content
option allows a way to provide string which will be matched against
e-mail content. Although this doesn't work when message is base64
encoded - this format is properly displayed by Thunderbird but it seems
filters came to early and match user provided clear text against encoded
text in e-mail.
I confirmed this by defining filter with base64 fragment as desired
string but this is not an option for more dynamic messages - adding one
space before clear text string will change entrie string due to how
base64 encode work so it needs to fully decode e-mail and then apply
filters
