Is the issue that if binary blobs get into the rendered body, the subsequent
scantime is excessive and the DoS is based on time/resources expended?

Since the time is slow even with a 148KB attachment, I don't think this issue
is "solved" by adding the max size option from spamc to also exist on
spamassassin front-end filtering script.

Are their MUAs that will display text/* parts inline even if they are binary
and us bypassing the scan will allow spam through?

It sounds to me like we need a rule that fires if anything outside of ASCII is
used in an attachment type of text/plain.  If it really has DoS potential, we
short-circuit further tests and consider it a malicious format with a 100%
positive score from that one rule.
