<p>While it is technically possible to do this, I would wonder why a message part would be defined as text/plain when I suspect the reason the sender encoded the content was because there were characters that were not plain Ascii.. Besides this the Utf-8 marker string is itself 8-bit characters. I believe the only safe way to do what you want is to decode the message part and save it to the hard drive so that any Anti-virus scan can examine it.  If the sender is sending plain text, he/she should not Utf-8 encode it (which would then require Base64 or Quoted-Printable translation).</p><p>Martin </p>

<p>Hello  David and Collaborators,</p><p>There is a problem with messages that arrives with base64 encoding.   </p><p>These messages are internally saved encoded so when we try to search a text inside those messages with the button  "Find" of the search folder, it can not find any text inside those messages,</p><p>Is possible that pmail also saves the contents of these messages decoded ? </p><p> <span style="font-size: 10pt;">Here is a sample with a partial (raw) view of a message begining with the last lines of the header: and the boginning of the message content</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">" </span>Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8</p><p>Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64</p><p>X-Nonspam: None</p><p>X-PMFLAGS: 34078848 0 1 PQ05YISN.CNM                        </p><p> </p><p>RGVhciBNci4vTXJzLiBKYWltZSBKaW1lbmV6LA0KDQpXZSByZWNlaXZlZCBhbiBvcmRl</p><p>ciBmb3IgeW91ciBwcm9kdWN0ICIxRE5lc3Q6IFNpbmdsZSBQQyAgTGljZW5zZSIuDQoN</p><p>ClRoZSBjcmVkaXQgY2FyZCBjaGFyZ2UgaGFzIGJlZW4gYXV0aG9yaXplZC4NCg<span style="font-size: 10pt;"> .....</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">" </span></p><p> </p><p>Thanks for your atention and for this great software.</p><p>Jaime </p><p> </p>
