clearly ... "remove all and replace by this" is pretty dubious as an
alteration (albeit something that got re-coded from quoted-printable to
base64 might look like that) ...

... but I regularly see bad emails where someone has added some HTML at
the front to display an image and have their URL actioned if you click.
All the text from the original email is never seen (viz: a pretty short
insertion completely changes the user experience) ...  I think the bad
guys do this in order to leave in all the legitimate URLs from an
original marketing email in the hope that will fool a reputation engine.

So guidance is going to either be mainly obvious, or impossibly complex
