Hi All,

I posted on this issue last week and really got nowhere with it, so I
guess I'll try again.  I've got an Squirrelmail (SM) install using SM
1.40RC1 (but the issue started at 1.2.10 which was my original install),
apache 2.0.43, php 4.2.3, UW IMAP, sendmail 8.11.5 on RH 7.3.  Whenever I
attach an M$ application file like Word or Excel the file size grows by
almost 30% and the file becomes unreadable by its parent app.  This does
not effect plain text files or compressed binaries. This is an onset of
install issue, I just noticed in about two weeks ago because that was the
first time I tried to attach and send an M$ app file.

I've tried many different combinations to rule out specific platform or
virus.  Even ssh'd some test files from an two differnet M$ platforms to
the linux box hosting SM, compared file sizes as being same, attached from
the linux boxes browser (Netscape 7.01) and watched them grow when the
"attachfilesize" function in compose.php displayed the attached file size,
even before sending the test message.  Did the same thing on a Solaris 8
box running Netscape 4.78.

I've found the commented section of code in compose.php that handles file
attachments, but I'm not a programmer, a few shell scripts is about my
speed.  If any of the SM programmers would care to chime in from a
development standoint I would really appreciate it.  I like SM, good UI,
good program flow and its flexable, but I can't really use it in this
state.

phpini? - Register Globals=Off, file_uploads=On - all debugging is off. 
I've stopped apache numerous times, even rebooted the box before another
troubleshootin session.

Is this some way of exacting revenge on the Evil Empire? (sorry... Just my
poor attempt at levity).  Any help would be appreciated.

Mike Pacheco
