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.
