Let me get this straight: you WANT to see the spam?
:-))) When possible I write an email message to abuse@somewhere so I have to see what url that email message is an advertisement for.
[just kidding -- I suppose could be legit stuff depending on who sends you stuff and how they (brokenly) send it, but I'll bet the majority of it is indeed "spam" and not worth the effort in decoding it]
Yes true, and when it is really broken I can ask to send it again, when it came from somebody I know.
That said, you CAN get "spamassassin" and install it/enable it -- as part of the process of deciding if a message is spam, it will un-decipher base 64 stuff and scan it [as well as bump the "probabiltiy of spam index" because properly encoded base-64 stuff should come through as an explicit attachment
That is what I asked myself. I also thought that it would get here as an attachment. So I see, there is something wrong with it. But then I must find a tool that decodes the message as far as it goes. Just detecting spam and deleting it, will not stop the spammer. I can manage it without tools like spamasassin, it are not that many spam messages (yet). thanks for your help. --Kees
