Does SA convert the blob into text before scanning? It contains a number of drug-related words and a URI that points to "pharmconnect.org".

Yes.

I was pretty sure this was the case but wanted to confirm it.

Also is there an SA rule that scores messages that contain only a single base64 part (as opposed to a base64-encoded attachment)? I doubt many legitimate messages arrive with only a single base64 part.

No, because there are going to be a lot of mails that would hit that.

Really? Maybe it's because I live in the US, but I can't think of a legitimate message I've ever received consisting only of a base64 blob. Our of curiosity, how frequently does this appear in the SA ham corpus? Rather than making anyone else do the work for me, is there something I can read about how to determine the frequency of different message features appearing in the corpus?

Thanks, Theo.

Peter
