John,

Where have you been?  You seem to be a bit out of date as regards 
bogfilter's capabilities.

As of version 0.10, bogofilter knows about base64 encoded messages and 
internally converts them to plain text before parsing and scoring them.  It 
also knows about quote-printable and uuencoded text, html, and multi-part 
mime content.
