Careful -- that (corrected) regexp will overoptimistically match strings like: 'United Arab Emirates branch seeks Data 
Base Administrator to work in providing supporting "Follow-Up" project in Alcoholics Anonymous.'

You probably want to use a regexp matcher that doesn't care about newlines -- i.e. it treats the while MIME attachment 
as one big string, and you just search for U[:white:]E[:white:]... Though it could be possible that other malformed 
MIME is accepted by mail clients' parsers but fails your regexp match.  Perhaps [:white:] should really be 
[^A-Za-z0-9./] (i.e. a regexp matching characters which aren't valid Base64.
