I would do the upgrade anyway, as otherwise you well might end up with
errors in your syslog about it not being able to decode attachments. The
messages will get a "could not be analysed" error and will be quarantined.

But if you install the MIME::Base64 module through CPAN, this isn't
essential. You need to either
a) have MIME::Base64 installed by CPAN
or
b) Do the 4.35.10 upgrade "properly" using my script.
