Re^2: Mail::Pop3Client messing up PGP email messages

Thanks for the suggestion! That's retreving the e-mail the way it should be formatted. However...

Upon further investigation of my problems, in the encrypted text I'm retrieving, the last 3 = are replaced with =3D, thereby messing up the CRC of the encrypted text. GPG throws a CRC error when I try to decode it manually. However, like I said before, when I retrieve said e-mails in Thunderbird, the =3D is just =.

Any ideas on what's causing this mix up? It doesn't seem to be the encryption as that's coming through just fine.

Thanks!

That sounds like maybe the message is PGP-signed, then MIME-encoded. If that's the case, to check it you'll have to MIME-decode it (which will change the `=3D` to just `=`) then check the signature. -- sgifford's Web page	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here. I'm about to pitch the e-mail attempt and use flock instead I'm getting so frustrated. Here's the code I'm trying: `use strict; use MIME::Decoder; open FH, "audit1.gpg"; my $decoder = new MIME::Decoder "7Bit"; $decoder->decode(\FH, \STDOUT); close FH;` [download] Very basic, but I'm still getting the encoded 3D which shouldn't be there at the end of the message. I know that the encryption is correct, because when I physically remove the 3D towards the end of the file, it decodes properly. Can you please point me to what I might be missing?

The MIME encoding that would replace `=` with `=3D` is "quoted-printable". Try using: `my $decoder = new MIME::Decoder "quoted-printable";` [download] You should be able to detect the right encoding from the MIME headers; it would surprise me if MIME::Decoder wouldn't do that automatically for you somehow. -- sgifford's Web page	[reply] [d/l] [select]
