Hi -
I’ve got a strange postfix problem under opensuse 11.
I have a couple admin type aliases setup on this box. Users can email
these addresses and the messages get routed to the right person.
Everything works fine. However, whenever one user replies to one of the
messages from one of the local accounts, the email returns in an
unreadable format.
I am not sure why this is happening. Other users can reply and their
messages come through fine. It is an attachment that’s not decoding
properly? Looking at the headers doesn’t reveal much (at least for me -
I am new to Postfix).
This is not a postfix problem. This is one of those mail bodies that’s
encoded in base-64, as you can see from the Content-Transfer-Encoding. I
think Outlook does this. So it’s up to the mail user agent to do the
right decoding when displaying it. Or go around and get the user to stop
using that encoding if it really bothers you.
PS: I ran your garble through base64 -d, after removing the extra space
stuck in the middle of the three lines, and this is the message. Hope
you didn’t mind:
Test.

I love it …
Who knows what evil lurks in the heart of Base 64 encoding? Ken_yap
