First, I must correct myself...the SUBJECT test for the ISO/Base64 line is working without any changes and after further testing.  I have no clue as to how I screwed this up on so many tests, but apparently I did unless that is related to the other mysterious behavior with my system not decoding properly.

Regarding the gibberish detection and decoding...I am running the most recent version and have not disabled decoding, however the following test message gets a hit on [BODY   0   CONTAINS   qi] even though that string only appears in the link:

I also found that the the Base64 encoded words that appear in a subject aren't getting found by my filters either.  It looks to me like for some reason my system isn't decoding the Base64 stuff.  Is that a fair conclusion?  Any pointers on what I might do to get this to work?  declude -diag reports the following:

I'll leave that eicar error for another time and list unless you think it is relevant.

Thanks,
