[imp] imp 3.0 - attachments problem - 0x0a being prepended

[Scott Kearney]

Sorry it took so long to get back on this. I hope the reply still 
threads correctly.

The problem turned out to be a bad setting in registry.php and I think 
it had been compounded by some extra lines at the bottom of a few config 
files. The bad setting was:

$this-applications['horde'] = array(
     'fileroot' => dirname(__FILE__) . '/..'

I had it set to:
      'fileroot' => dirname(__FILE__) . ''

..which was a relic of trying to have horde reside directly in the 
htdocs directory. Sloppy error on my part, but the only problem it 
seemed to cause was with viewing attachments. Downloading worked fine, 
and everything else worked fine.

The other problem was was linefeeds at the end of config files. 
Linefeeds after the closing ?> tag in certain files had the effect of 
adding those linefeeds to the top of files sent to the client browser. 
So a .gif attachment would be downloaded correctly, but with a couple of 
blankspace lines prepended to it, the only thing I had which would 
display it correctly was Photoshop.

I appreciate the provision of a demo server that can connect to other 
imap servers over SSL. That was helpful in narrowing the problem down to 
my horde/imp config (and not the imap side of things).
