Careful -- that (corrected) regexp will overoptimistically match strings like: 
'United Arab Emirates branch seeks Data Base Administrator to work in providing 
supporting "Follow-Up" project in Alcoholics Anonymous.'

You probably want to use a regexp matcher that doesn't care about newlines -- 
i.e. it treats the while MIME attachment as one big string, and you just search 
for U[:white:]E[:white:]... Though it could be possible that other malformed 
MIME is accepted by mail clients' parsers but fails your regexp match.  Perhaps 
[:white:] should really be [^A-Za-z0-9./] (i.e. a regexp matching characters 
which aren't valid Base64.
