Elijah,

A safe way to handle such a message is to gzip it and send it as an 
attachment.  That obscures the content sufficiently that bogofilter won't 
even try to process it.

If you post it on SourceForge, then someone (me) has to go to SourceForge 
and download it.  Using the bogofilter list (or the bogofilter-dev list) or 
simply sending it direct to me is much easier.
