Using Amavis to reject/quarantine email with MIME-encoded Subject Fields

Assuming that you are using Spamassassin, you could add your own custom rule sets. They can be made quite intricate but a rule set in a file in 
/etc/mail/spamassassin/
Called say MyRules.cf
With the following contents:

header  MyRuleNumberOne          Subject =~ /RgNC10LTQ/i

score	MyRuleNumberOne		5.0

The rules looks for something containing " RgNC10LTQ" and the i after the / means case insensitive. You can remove that if this is the precise spelling you are looking for.

Kind regards

Subject: Using Amavis to reject/quarantine email with MIME-encoded Subject Fields

Hi

I am receing a lot of spam, and the only constant is the email subject

Subject: =?utf-8?B?0J/RgNC10LTQu9C+0LbQtdC90LjQtQ==?=

How can I user Amavis to block, or at least add a couple of points to the X-Spam-Score?

In fact the majority of the email is MIME-encoded..

Googling was not helpful - most of the results were complaining about emails being blocked because of it.  I.e. the opposite of what I am trying to achieve.

Thanks.
