would you happen to know of a server that has ability built in, instead of
having to build up operation, as Ed suggest?

it may be that my searches of late are hitting post that happen to all be
sent in 'base64'. in past 2 months, i have run 'body' searches for threads
that i know contained what i was looking for, but results where zero.

i was looking for a thread last week that i had tagged, but i did not
recall exactly what "Subject:" was. i then looked thru tagged threads
and found what i wanted. when i looked at sources, they where all in
'base64'.

could be, and a good question.

to answer, what does this search tell you;

  3101  fedoraproject from 12/01/2011 to 01/12/2012 0319 utc
  2812  fedoraproject + Content-Transfer-Encoding base64
   289  various type

of which;

   183  fedoraproject + This is an OpenPGP/MIME signed message

   106  which could be anything.

unfortunately, i could not invert search to see how 106 where sent.
