A new binary encoding method that's become a major player recently.  In 
the "sub is_binary" section of Cleanfeed, you probably want to add one of 
the following.  The first one is from Russ; I don't actually remember who 
provided the second one, but I added it when I was trying to track down 
some misplaced binaries hoping it would be more aggressive.  I'm not sure 
if it's actually making a big difference.


    if ($hdr{__BODY__} =~ /^=ybegin (.+)$/m) {
        local $_ = $1;
        if (/line=/ and /size=/ and /name=/) {
            $Cache_Is_Binary = 1;
            return 1;
        }
    }

    if ($hdr{__BODY__} =~ 
m/^=ybegin[^\n]+\n(?>(?:=ypart[^\n]+\n)?)(?>[^\r\n]{62,999}\r?\n){40}/mo) 
{
        $Cache_Is_Binary = 1;
        return 1;
    }
