Well, anyone can Base64 anything, and, what's underneath the Base 64 could be binary or ansi or utf-8 or anything. Or encrypted good if you have half a brain. So; Good luck with that.

EDIT: Noone types the message-letters on a hooked-up machine. You prepare / encrypt the payload before you paste it onto the sending computer / device. Anything withing the Base 64 you paste into the message-field should be impenetrable.
