Does anyone know of a single non-spam message which is sent this way?
What software, other than that of spammers, would generate such messages?
If these two questions draw a blank, then perhaps the score for this test should be raised to a very high figure. Unless someone provides evidence to the contrary, I will regard the use of base-64 encoding for text or HTML as a 100% sure indicator that the message is spam.
I have updated my page:

to reflect this new scoring.

I Learned the hard way to not discriminate against Base-64 encoded message traffic. After a month of confusion because email was being "lost", I checked my bucket-o-base64. Inside were twenty emails with MS-Excel spreadsheets sent via Outlook. All of the "missing" messages were being kicked out of the queue by my own rule. Very bad advice I took on that one.
