Is there a filter that one can run in procmail in which base64 encoded data go in and text comes out so one can allow procmailrc to do its work? I use bogofilter to filter spam and it does a very good job after one builds a core of spammishness, but legitimate messages are often-times filled with base64 sections that look like garbage to the regular expressions that one puts in .procmailrc for sorting mail. When searching for information, I found something called mimencode which both encodes and decodes these attachments, but there is no FreeBSD port called mimencode so it occurred to me that some other application might exist which is in the ports that does basically the same thing. Is there anything which will take a raw email message and spit out linear strings which can be processed like normal text? Thank you. Martin McCormick
