    [ The following text is in the "iso-8859-1" character set. ]
    [ Your display is set for the "US-ASCII" character set.  ]
    [ Some characters may be displayed incorrectly. ]

Thanks for the reply,  I did use the install script and Base64 comes up
as 3.01. Any other ideas?
I have included the total output from MailScanner -v for reference. Any
help is appreciated.
 
Thanx

You have not installed the new MIME::Base64 and QuotedPrint
modules. This error message has been posted to this list many times
before, along with the explanation :-)

You will find that ^ÓMailScanner ^Öv^Ô will report version
2.something for MIME::Base64 and MIME::QuotedPrint. It should
report version 3.something.

Either use CPAN to upgrade MIME::Base64 (which will automatically
do the QuotedPrint bit as well), or run my ./install.sh script and
make sure it successfully built and installed the modules.

Did you install using my ./install.sh script?

      All,

      Having a problem with mailscanner decoding of messages
      sent form microsoft clients sending rich text or HTML.
      I have tried turning off the TNEF expander and also
      setting mailscanner to deliver the unparsable TNEF. I
      have also tried both the internal perl module and the
      external executable. After a little more digging I'm
      thinking that the problem occurs before the TNEF even
      gets kicked off.   It appears that the MIME Decoder
      module is having a problem initializing the QuotedPrint
      object when and HTML or Rich text email is recieved
      from a MS client (plain text are fine) also
      HTML/richtext from evolution is fine. The following
      error appears in the maillog.  

      Cannot parse
      /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/7895/4636B211F42.header
      and , Can't locate object method "init" v\
      ia package "MIME::Decoder::QuotedPrint" at
      /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/MIME/Decoder.pm line
      179.

      I have noticed that there is more than one QuotedPrint
      perl module on the box, I not really a perl guy so I
      not sure how all this effects things

      locate QuotedPrint
      /usr/share/man/man3/PerlIO::via::QuotedPrint.3pm.gz
      /usr/share/man/man3/MIME::QuotedPrint.3pm.gz
