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

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.
