This problem is more serious than I thought! I have just done some experiments with a text file as an attachment and I am losing about 100 lines out of 300 by the time it gets saved back to disk.
The message arrives complete in my maildir, so it is at the SquirrelMail "download attachment" process that it is going wrong. (Just for fun I sent the same attachment from an Outlook client running on the same machine under CrossOver Office, this also arrives complete but Squirrelmail saves it minus about 100 lines as well. Also, if I save the attachment from Outlook it IS complete.) Can anyone advise me where to look in the SquirrelMail "download attachment" processing to find out why the attached file is being truncated? Apache? Courier? SquirrelMail?
