267230 - Message Filters trigger off of fragments from UUEncoded attachments

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 136055

I have a few message filters set up to move obvious mails containing things like
"penis" and "viagra" into a SPAM folder for later deletion.  I had a problem a
few days ago where an email containing a bunch of pictures from a friend was
"lost".  It turned out that it was in my spam folder.   On investigation, the
source of the message contained the text "PenIs" in the UUEncoded text of the
second image.

Would it be possible to modify the message filters to ignore the contents of
UUEncoded blocks?  It doesn't seem like users would ever want to be filtering
off of their contents.

Cheers,
