Do the message headers tell you what user agent they are using? I know that some versions of IMP (PHP-based webmail) will base-64 encode all of the MIME parts of an email that is forwarded. I've also seen some mail relays and gateways that will take a plain text email and encode it to base-64 as it passes through. I'm not sure why, maybe someone else on the list can explain this... ___________________________________________ Michael Sims Project Analyst - Information Technology Crye-Leike Realtors Office: (901)758-5648 Pager: (901)769-3722 ___________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: eBay Get office equipment for less on eBay! http://adfarm.mediaplex.com/ad/ck/711-11697-6916-5 _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
