My point was that the spam that you were complaining about as an example
of why you don't like base64 was *not* base64 encoded (the original spam
mail, not your reply to it). At least it wasn't, *here*... None of it
was.

}> X-Mailer: Evolution 2.22.3.1 (2.22.3.1-1.fc9)
dose Evolution convert 'base64' to 'text' during view source?
or, convert to text when email receive?
"tricked" handlers between inet connection and email client?
But having another look at that message, I see I overlooked a mail
header stating that it had been converted (and it's quite possible that
some server may do the opposite conversion to you, converting stuff into
8bit).

intelligent email 'handlers', 'servers', 'clients', do not
convert
enigmail to 'base64'.

when i post enigmail, there is not conversion of my post.
when i post unsigned, my post arrives base64.
X-MIME-Autoconverted: from base64 to 8bit by
mailserver.lan.example.com -=-
where and with what is above being inserted?
it would appear "X-MIME-Autoconverted:" is/may be a config within
_your_ email handler??
If I can get the message /as text/, then so you can you, one way or
another.
-=-
this is true. and i would if my email client had ability to convert
base64 to text.
And your problem (I think it was you that asked about converting
mail,
last week), about using tools to filter mail, but not encoded mail,
can be simplified.
-=-
convert base64 to text, yes.
filter, no.
other than filter for base64 and convert to text.
In my case, I use fetchmail to drag in mail from various internet
servers. I access that mail through Dovecot, as a local IMAP server.
And post out through sendmail, as a local SMTP server. (Which isn't as
hard, or complicated, as that might seem at first glance).
-=-
i am in research and reading of 'dovecot/*'. now have a 'dovecot'
'chapter' in bookmarks and a local 'dovecot' url icon to a local
'dovecot' html page which is a/an inet and local 'map'.
I don't know which of them is doing it, because I haven't
deliberately
configured it to do so. Though I notice some mention of conversion
options in the fetchmail man file.
-=-
i already have 'fetchmail chapter'. built over several years. added to
while writing 'dovecot chapter'.
fetchmail is installed. not configed. never run.
setting up server will not be a problem.
problem is a "box" to put it in. 8-(. which is 'r2i' new power supply.
plus side, another box can/will be used as file server also. ;)
