We are using RT 4.0.5.   Been seeing this issue since 3.8.

I send an email to RT using plain text (Using Outlook).  Body is as
follows:

1<single carriage return> 2<single carriage return> 3<single
carriage return> 4<single carriage return>

Owner of ticket replies via email (plain text) and this is what is
displayed in RT web interface:

RT-Message-ID:<[email protected]>


Content-Length: 707

1 2 3 4


The email I get in Outlook looks like this (in RT it looks fine):

1<double carriage return>

2<double carriage return>

3<double carriage return>

4<double carriage return>

If I reply back RT will now have the double CR.  If ticket owner
replies I will see triple CR's.  Rinse repeat and the CR's grow and
grow.

I have queried the list and found a previous patch that requires
the X-Mailer header.   New versions Exchange do not send X-Mailer.
We changed EmailerParser.pm to force all messages through the
RescueOutlook code.   Unfortunately it did not fix anything.

In addition to stripping the X-Mailer header a lot of newer
exchanges are forcing a base64 transfer encoding.  That will prevent
Rescude code from ever working.  There's a branch to work on this,
but I'm not sure of the status.

The branch is up and waiting on some testing in the wild with Outlook/Exchange that exhibits the issue:

https://github.com/bestpractical/rt/tree/4.0/base64-in-rescue-outlook

Would love some additional testing and feedback.
