I'm pretty sure I know what you want....

You want a pre-processor to take incoming emails that are in encoded in
base64 and un-encode it before storage in the mailbox.

I don't know of any utility that currently exists that does that.  Which
is why I suggested you may, probably, will have to write your own
utility/pre-processor.  My reference to procmail was not to say that
"procmail" itself had any capabilities in that area but that it would be
the natural vehicle to call the pre-processor if you are running the
mail server.  How the pre-processor would be dependent on how you access
email.

I've not searched for any existing utility since I keep all of my emails
on an imap server and text based searches from email clients work just
fine as the un-encoding is done behind the scenes and I've never found
the need to directly search my messagestore with external tools.
