Hi.

I have a similar situation as you have.

Did a mysqldump of the data, and lo-and-behold, the data is readable...

Based on the mysqldump result I did successfully insert new data into the database even though the field is a binary - blob field now.

I tested this with a test account on my test webmailserver, and the user preferences set through the script I made worked without any problem.
