Interesting (but slightly off topic) "objectionable content" story:
We had a user sending to a local school district and it was being rejected
by filtering software for containing an offensive word. It turns out that
there was an attachment, and the Base64 encoding of it included the
infamous F-word in the middle of a long string of other characters.
I researched it a bit and looked at an email I had with a 6MB attachment.
I searched for that same 4 letter word in the encoded attachment and gave
up after 40 instances. I was only about halfway through the file.
