quoted-printable octet-stream issues

[Chuck Foster]

Hi,

I've been looking at a problem with some PDF messages that were being
corrupted on arrival; looking at it more closely I can see that our
Exchange server is sending out the attachments as quoted-printable and by
the time they've been through MailScanner the content has been changed,
specifically the midline =0As have now become physical newlines and (I
guess) are being mangled through the MTA (sendmail).

I noted that there is some code to 'massage' quoted-printable in
Message.pm, and the file on disk seems to be fine, so I would think the
problem is in re-encoding the content back to quoted-printable on the way
out.

Is this a common problem that has now been fixed (I couldn't find any
reference on a net trawl)? Obviously this doesn't occur for BASE64-encoded
messages.

Regards,
Chuck
