Check the headers of any messages that you think should have been
caught. The Content-Type:header will no doubt be different.

You need to search the body as well as the header, as most (properly formatted) HTML messages will be multipart/alternative with a text/plain and a text/html part. The header will have multipart/alternative.

That reg.exp is far to broad. A dot matches any letter. Or did you
munge it? Better mention if you did.


Content-Type: text/plain
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

That body fragment doesn't look like base64-encoded plain-text.
I assume you copied the header and the body in two different ways
into your message to us.

To catch base64-encoded text with non-base64-encoded reg.exps won't
work. Either uncode the body first, or use reg.exps that actually
match what you receive.


Or just send any message with these headers
  Content-Type: text/plain
  Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
to some color-spam-box, because it
sure is a silly combo.
