Description Yusuf Goolamabbas 2005-11-14 08:44:33 UTC 
If a user installs Microsoft Outlook 2000 on a traditional Chinese Windows XP
installation, the mailer is configured to send mail out with a charset of "big5"
and a Content-Transfer-Encoding of base64. This combination hits the rule
MIME_BASE64_TEXT

I shall attach a patch which exempts big5 charset when trying to determine if
the MIME_BASE64_TEXT should fire
