wp-mail.php accepts base64 emails and posts the raw format instead of readable characters

Description

Currently if you send an email with the following sentence:

This should be readable

in base64 format. The blog post body appears as this:

VGhpcyBzaG91bGQgYmUgcmVhZGFibGU=

The RAW base64. In my cell phone (like many others) you can only send emails in base64. Body content in wp-mail.php should be wrapped around a base64 decoder if base64 is detected.

This ticket has been dead for a years.

If somebody has any opinions about this issue, they can reopen it or create a new one.

And I think issue was solved with the recent mail changes anyway.
