[SC-Help] Thunderbird and base 64 spam

I've just encountered a new form of spam with embedded base 64 coding, nothing 
new here you'd think.

When viewed in Thunderbird it comes across as plain text, when you attempt to 
view the source of the message using control 'u' it comes across as a base 64 
file with headers visible, nothing else, no html viewable or similar.

Me thinks the spammers have found a bug in Thunderbirds display parser.

I'll be returning to an ascii only email program ASAP...
