Very cool!

I've applied your patch to my spam-stat.el (I used an ugly hack
calling an external perl-script to do the un-base64'ing previously)
and it looks like it works nicely here.

When splitting mail I've begun to get messages like this in
*Message-Log*:

 Error while decoding: (error Premature EOF while decoding base64)

and:

 Malformed quoted-printable text

I'm wondering whether that's only natural or if it could indicate some
problem?

(I can try and track down some of the 'offending' spam if that can
help).


  Best regards,
