OK, I solved my truncating email problem (below) - there was a strange combination of \r\n characters breaking the long lines in half. I removed them with a regular expression. The actual regexp was s/=\r\n//gm.

---------------------------------------------------

Well, my body_string lines, anyway. I run the following code, but each line of the body_string is truncated to 56 characters. Can anyone tell me why? Thanks! 

$client->select("Inbox") or die "Could not select the email Inbox fold
+er: $@\n"; 
my $msgcount = $client->message_count("Inbox");  
         
 # Get a list of messages in the current folder: 
        my @waldenMsgs = $client->search("SUBJECT","fetch this email")
+ or die "There are no requests. $@\n"; 
        my $msgSet = Mail::IMAPClient::MessageSet->new(@waldenMsgs); 
        my @msgs = $msgSet->unfold; 
        my $numMsgs = @msgs; 
        WriteLog("There are $numMsgs requests."); 
#     step through the messages and parse the body information        
+ 
        foreach(@msgs){ 
            my %recHash; 
            my $msgString = $client->body_string($_);
