When posting-by-email, my cellphone submits code using "content-transfer-
encoding: base64". The message appears (output from wp-mail.php) like so:
Author = [my email] <p><p><b>Content-type:</b> text/plain, <b>Content-
Transfer-Encoding:</b> base64, <b>boundary:</b> </p>

The provided patch detects base64-encoded content transfers and
base64_decodes them. For some reason (I'm no utf8-expert) the TITLE of the
post has "=?utf-8?B?" prepended to the actual base64 content (see above),
which means a check for this string + a cropping is needed or
base64_decode will not decode the post title properly.
