I don't have problems with any data.  So I don't know what you mean by
"other data doesn't have these problems."

#1 no, this is a browser/mime magic issue.  *please* read all of what we
write.
#2 if you think IMP is inefficient, then please provide patches.  And
please understand that our algorithim is most likely no more
efficient/less efficient than any other algorithim (especially since we
are mostly using PHP built-in functions to do our encoding).
