When I receive replies to mailings they look fine when delivered into my servers mail box prior to being processed. However they are not displaying correctly in outlook after being processed and starts like this

This is a multipart message in MIME format.

------=_NextPart_000_0083_01C8E93A.703C8AD0
Content-Type: text/plain;
charset="UTF-8"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

Somewhere the imap2soap process appears to be adding something which messes the body up.

I'm not sure if it is connected with http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,3298.msg15267.html#msg15267 where I had to change /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/HTTP/Message.pm to stop it from failing with a message about "HTTP::Message content not bytes".

Googling the issue indicates that maybe a hard return has been added to the text. Don't really know where to look...

Any ideas?

This may not be related but i have discovered that a lot of bounce messages are rejected with 'Bad Request' by the civimail soap server but not reported by current version of IMAP2SOAP.

To get around that I removed the original body from those messages that contain 'This is a copy of the message, including all the headers' before passing to the soap client.

< my $body = SOAP::Data->type(string =>$imap->body_string($msg));
---
> # get rid of the original message, if it is identifiable.
>
> my @body_parts = split(/This is a copy of the message, including all the headers/,
> $imap->body_string($msg));
>
> my $body = SOAP::Data->type(string =>$body_parts[0]);

I think it is unlikely that civimail bounce handling looks at the original message.
