I can tell you Freelists uses

MIME-Version: 1.0
If you want to get technical see this:
http://search.cpan.org/~gaas/MIME-Base64-2.21/Base64.pm
Since freelists is written in perl, there is likely to be a lot of this in the 
code. It appears this treatment can produce some odd results in the process of 
encoding and decoding base 64 strings. Thankfully, we don't see these bugs too 
often.
