Base64 is the MIME standard. In the docs you'll find a
reference to metamail, a freely available MIME package that
runs automatically, as required, once you have it set up
properly. Get the app, set it up, then uncomment the hook
to metamail in your config file. More info and a sample
setup is available in the Yarn docs.
