Suppressing processing of UU/BASE64 encoded attachments

1998-07-19 17:10:19
It would be nice if there was a way to tell procmail to process the body
of the message, skipping over the encoded portions of any encoded
attachments (i.e. the UUE or base64 sections).

Some of my rules for spam trapping (such as, for example, three or more
exclamation points in a row) have hit in the body of an encoded
attachment, bouncing an otherwise-acceptable piece of mail. 

Does this capability currently exist? If not, is it planned? Does anybody
have any arguments against implementing this restriction on body
processing?

I searched the archives briefly but couldn't find anything addressing this
idea - the hits on "base64" and/or "uuencode" were on questions about how
to have procmail do the bursting.
