3. An option to skip processing of UUE and Base64 encoded blocks. (Yes, I
know you can work around this with existing tools, but I think it would be
cleaner as an option in procmail.) 

Somebody sent me a comment that makes me think this is an even better
idea: try passing a 100Mb email through procmail without killing your
server... (I know, shoot the luser)

If 99.9% of that 100Mb is an encoded attachment, then procmail can skip
it, and the message may make it through successfully.

Comments?
