If you decode Base64 by `procmail', say, make real sure your adjust headers
consistently, or else, you really ran for trouble (and Gnus is not guilty!).
I once used without much problems these rules:

	:0 fbw
	* ^Content-Transfer-Encoding:.*quoted-printable
	| recode /qp
	  :0 Afhw
	  | formail -i 'Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit'

	:0 fbw
	* ^Content-Transfer-Encoding:.*base64
	| recode /64
	  :0 Afhw
	  | formail -i 'Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit'

The key is to rewrite CTE when you convert the contents.  But for Gnus
users, such rules should not be needed anymore, as we may expect Gnus to
nicely do the equivalent for us, on the fly.
