How can I detect a text/plain base64 email message with no other text parts?

[Loren Wilton <lw...@earthlink.net>]

I get a lot of spams, and a major characterisitc is they only have 
text/plain that is base-64 encoded.
Since I live in an area where base-64 encoding is basically never necessary, 
almost all base-64 encoded text parts are major spam signs.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

Thanks,

        Loren

imho text/html is more spam sign then text/plain

text/html should not need qoutedprinteble, if HTML entities is used

charset utf-8 should not aswell use quotedprinteble

old software is genious :=)
