The issue appears to be that this call: 
    my $tmpMessage = $parser->parse_data($body);

[download]
Is returning decoded strings for some emails but not for others. Some of the emails require the output of this call: 
       $tmp_part->bodyhandle->as_string;

[download]
to be decoded manually and others do not. I don't understand why sometimes this call 
     $tmp_part->bodyhandle->as_string;

[download]
Returns a human readable decoded string on some emails with base64 encoding but not on all emails with base64 encoding. This is a headache for me because if I change the code to just output the string it breaks on emails that need the string manually decoded. All I am doing is calling "parse_data" and then "bodyhandle->as_string". I'm not sure where the decoding process happens. The original data is definitely base64 encoded which I can see by looking at the raw email data.
