No, because if unbase64 fails, the classification may be wrong depending
on the bogofilter configuration. You don't want to introduce a filter
that classifies everything as spam or everything as non-spam without
actually looking at the mail.

Don't do it. Doing pipes and such things right in C is going to damage
your hands, it takes hundred-and-odd lines of code for an operation
that's done securely in like 10 lines of Perl.
