I put this into my procmail recipes:

:0 B
* ^Content-Type: text/html
* ^Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
/users/lnp3/mail/base64

You'll want to enable a lock file on delivery, or
your base64 mailbox may become corrupted.

This will do (note the colon following the B).

:0 B:
* ^Content-Type: text/html
* ^Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
/users/lnp3/mail/base64

Although it is a matter of some debate here as to whether all
mail delivery processing should be done in procmail or not,
I personally view spam detection as a computationally intensive
task, and invoke spamassassin to do the filtering.  SA knows
how to decode base64 and much much more.

Here's a FAQ on using SA with procmail. (you'll of course need
to have SA and its perl module dependencies already installed)
