Fellow monks,

I'm working on a project where I send an encoded web based form as an e-mail and want to retrieve it via a web based client on the other end.

The encryption is working just fine on both encoding and decoding - that is if I look at the message in my e-mail client. However when I try getting the message using Mail::POP3Client, it appears to be losing some line breaks along the way as shown by the PGP snippets below. 

What I'm getting

-----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE----- Version: Crypt::OpenPGP 1.03 hQIOA3d7Jqbzm
+ZZ1EAgAggmlYb1TnK+xTIw4jmxEfIn78S+6tNccDK3576FRJxKZ
--clipped--
KoaBzlX71FsQUXLNPPjy9OyG/ikB6U4SZJ0LrRetb+KlAhKdvo8ygZKajilHsEm8 Z9lEE
+16m =3D1k9I -----END PGP MESSAGE-----

What it should be:

-----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----
Version: Crypt::OpenPGP 1.03

hQIOA3d7JqbzmZZ1EAgAsGxJsR3nzBWKi9JDUpMGhRoCnPTPPHp/61nMKnsL8EWI
--clipped--
BeX+Hm9fh/UAeeHPClTq2JuDY1EEqg==
=YcK/
-----END PGP MESSAGE-----

As you can see, the -----BEGIN and the Version should be on seperate lines ( as they show up in my e-mail client ) but they aren't.

I keep getting error messages of a bad checksum, which I am thinking is directly related to the message formatting being messed up. Can someone either reccomend how to solve the problem at hand or is there a different module I should be looking at for retrieving e-mail?

Useless trivia: In the 2004 Las Vegas phone book there are approximately 28 pages of ads for massage, but almost 200 for lawyers.
