Greg,

I agree that bogofilter needs to handle uuencoded attachments, either by 
decoding them in order to compute the proper spam score (preferred 
solution) or by ignoring the uuencoded data in order to not fill the 
wordlists with junk.  Bogofilter, as it currently exists in cvs, ignores 
the uuencoded data.

We _do_ plan to handle the standard attachment types, including uuencoded.
