Bug Description
User is able to define e-mail filters in Thunderbird. This can cover multiple fields like From:, To:, Subject: and Content . Using Content option allows a way to provide string which will be matched against e-mail content. Although this doesn't work when message is base64 encoded - this format is properly displayed by Thunderbird but it seems filters came to early and match user provided clear text against encoded text in e-mail.
I confirmed this by defining filter with base64 fragment as desired string but this is not an option for more dynamic messages - adding one space before clear text string will change entrie string due to how base64 encode work so it needs to fully decode e-mail and then apply filters
