Just saw this on the BouncyCastle mailinglist, as we provide mailets using BouncyCastle we should perhaps revise upgrading to JavaMail 1.3.3.
--Søren ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: [dev-crypto] warning about JavaMail 1.3.3 Date: Thursday 08 September 2005 00:25 From: David Hook <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] We're not sure exactly what's happening still, but it appears that on some platforms, under some circumstances, Base64 decoding, or something underlying it, in JavaMail 1.3.3 breaks horribly and produces data with lots of extra bytes of the value 0x00 and 0xff. The upshot of this is that messages containing Base64 encoded data, such as S/MIME messages will no longer work as the data stream containing the encoded message has become corrupted. If S/MIME starts causing exceptions we recommend moving back to 1.3.2. Regards, David ------------------------------------------------------- -- Søren Hilmer, M.Sc.
