Hmmm, I'm looking at an encoded snowhite message body right now. midgets.scr encoded in base64, and transmitted as an attachment. Can provide you a copy in private if you want to take it apart (but not on a PC, or you'll get a *huge* surprise ;) All others in that family that I looked at were also encoded.
