Apparently so; but it does correctly identify the email as
being base-64 encoded. I would simply recommend that you
raise the score in the local.cf file for the SA test
BASE64_ENC_TEXT to near or above your minimum spam
threshhold. I have yet to see a *valid* email that is
Base-64 encoded.

Yes, that's why they use it.  It's just one more spammer
trick.
