Do they actually have base64 lines longer than 76 chars ? If yes, they
are at fault. If not, theres a bug in my code.

 From RFC 2045:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The encoded output stream must be represented in lines of no more
    than 76 characters each.
---------------------------------------------------------------------


Thats a must :P

However, since the world is less than perfect, I will make the demime
tests more configurable.

To solve your current problems, you can extempt mail coming from Yahoo!
or Spray from demimeing by setting an appropriate exiscan_demime_condition.

Or look in src/exiscan.h and change MIME_SANITY_MAX_B64_LINE_LENGTH to
whatever you see fit, then recompile.
