[imp] Mal-formed Attachments?

[Marc G. Fournier]

I'm just looking at upgrading to the latest in CVS, to see if it corrects 
the problem, but based on a March 25nd, 2005 CVS version, has anyone 
noticed issues with Attachments not going through?

The message with the attachment comes out with:

"554 5.6.0 Message contains NUL characters (in reply to end of DATA command)"

on the other end ...

Based on a thread on the cyrus-imap mailing list that I started when I 
first noticed this issue, apparently WebCT has a similar problem, 
described as:

"FYI, WebCT (Campus Edition) also triggers this problem.

If an instructor has their WebCT mail forwarded to their Cyrus account, 
and a student posts a message containing a huge attachment within WebCT 
for that instructor, upon delivery to Cyrus that message will blow up as 
you describe. I found out that WebCT encoded such attachments as one long 
line and not nicely folded text like most clients do. I reported the 
problem to them and they said it would be addressed in some future 
release, but don't know when."

>From what I can tell, anyone running Cyrus IMAPd should be seeing this 
problem, unless it was a transitory one for when I did my update?
