OK...  I became confused  a bit since you seemed to have been linking
text/plain v.s. text/html with the appearance of base64.  I got confused
when you said "i was filtering out *base 64* posters" since there is no
relationship with that and text/plain v.s. text/html.

So, it really is just about html posters.
