This is probably a bug with your IMAP server. With NNTP, POP3, and all local file formats, mail_fetch_mime() simply returns octets starting at point in the message text, where and were earlier calculated by parsing the message.
With IMAP, mail_fetch_mime() does a specific IMAP operation to get that part. If your IMAP server is to blame, this is a bad bug in the server. The sole reason for mail_fetch_mime() to exist is as an aid in PGP and S/MIME validation. Changing data octets will foul up this validation. Which brings me to another point: Why are you using mail_fetch_mime()? You say that you are using it "to get a particular MIME part header". This information is almost certainly in the IMAP BODYSTRUCTURE, and should be obtained from there. You have to fetch the BODYSTRUCTURE anyway, since otherwise you don't know what MIME body parts (and hence their MIME headers) exist. Hopefully, this information will help you correct a serious mistake before the situation becomes too difficult for you. -- Mark -- http://panda.com/mrc Democracy is two wolves and a sheep deciding what to eat for lunch.

Hi, I am new to IMAP library. I have an issue when using this. I am using 'mail_fetch_mime' to get a particular mime part header. If i am reading a mime part with content type 'multipart/alternative' the value I am getting is as follows Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="----=_Part_29145_13825174.1225102765556" see the space before boundary, but if I am using mail_fetchtext to read the mail body I am getting this area like as follows .... Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="----=_Part_29145_13825174.1225102765556" .... here before boundary I am getting a TAB character. why this behavior?
