Let me ammend my last comment. I tried snow to verify things So far, the email with stego has been sent 4 different ways: 1) Plain text 2) Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1, Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 3) Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1; Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable 4) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 snow only decodes #4. Hidden information seems to be in #3 amd #2. However, it consists of spaces with and without the parity bit set. #4 has information that looks like this (using od -c) 0000400 p . h t m l \t \t \r \n \t \t 0000420 \t \t \t \t 0000440 \t \t \r \n L o v e 0000460 , \t \t \t 0000500 \t \t \t \t 0000520 \t \r \n I r o n g e 0000540 e k \t \t \t \t 0000560 \t \t 0000600 \t \r \n \t \t 0000620 \r \n 4 323 235 8 347 M 234 o 256 _ 337 336 0000640 370 337 N ; 341 306 335 { 255 334 261 266 254 { 256 ? 0000660 266 j 177 317 373 f 247 374 372 According to the home page, snow uses tabs as a delineator. There are no tabs in the first 3 formats. perhaps gmail strips them out? I don't understand why some spaces are converted into \040 and \240 (0x20 and 0xA0 in hex) but if there was a filter to convert quoted-printable into a uniform format, and snow understood that format, it could be adapted to work.
