== SpamAssassin Rule: FROM EXCESS BASE64 ==

''Standard description:'' From: base64 encoded unnecessarily

=== Explanation ===

The From: line has been encoded, but can already be expressed in US-ASCII.  This is likely an obfuscation technique.

=== Further Info ===

The default scores for this rule can be found [[http://spamassassin.apache.org/tests.html|in the online list of tests]].

Mail header encoding is defined in [[http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2047|RFC 2047]].
