I would hope any decent SMTP server would be aware of this sort of
thing. Certainly all the ones I know can mime-decode and base64-decode
message bodies to get at the content.  If it were that easy to by-pass
the scanners the spammers would do nothing but send encoded mails. 

The only thing my scanners can't decode are password encrypted files -
on some it passes them with a warning, on others it rejects any
passworded content.
