Sorry, Steffen, my mistake. The problem was the dos style encoding of line endings that we corresponded about a couple of months ago. RFC 2045 says that line endings have to be set to \r\n before base64 encoding and I hadn't written the filter to cope with the extra \r's. I should just stick dos2unix on the front of the filter.

i really would like to know. Simply leaving off markers, i mean, ok, but with multiple parts you only get an impenetrable heap of text? ??
Yes, there can be times when you want the markers, but I don't think I get many messages where that would happen. Anyway, I was asking whether there is already a way to turn off the markers, and there isn't, so too bad, I'll live with it.
Thanks. Stephen Isard
