You appear to be using emacs; surely it can help?

I've used VM in the past, and had no problems decoding base64 (or anything
else for that matter).

BTW, here is a response from gmail folks to my request to be able to send
text/plain attachments.

  How old is base64 now, has it hit 15 years yet?  "text based mail reader"
  my left foot, there's nothing to prevent a text based mail reader from
  decoding mail in a 15 year old standard.

  I can accept the argument that a pure text, 7bit ascii message of a
  text subtype shouldn't be encoded automatically.  I'm even suprised
  that its base64 encoded and not qp-encoded if there happened to be
  line-ending/wrapping concerns.
