Even that isn't correct either btw. e.g. if a contnet is base64 encoded with a different line length than the base64 encoder we use, it will come out different. > Even the handy "Save As", I just found, explodes base64 encoded plain > text into..., well..., plain text. I think it assumes you're saving to an 8 bit file, and cleans it up for that. But i dont really know off the top of my head, afaik it should've just left the encoding as it was. Oh and it *has* to transform *some* things anyway - it saves the content as an mbox file, which has to encode lines begging with "From " in some manner. > It'd sure be nice to have a Save As option that wouldn't do any fancy > transformations on the letter body or headers. Any hope for this sort of > thing? Some cases could be fixed easily, but a complete fix requires a lot of changes because of some of the very initial design decisions in the mail handling library. Once they're fixed (and they're loosley on the todo list of the mail guys, but our todo list doesn't match our bosses, so its always a low priority list :(, this will be fixable, but until then it wont be. _______________________________________________ evolution-hackers maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers
