Didn't want to ticket this automatically in case it's put down
to bad message format (I'm no expert but this seems a common
reply to such issues).
The (redacted) message below is all base64-encoded text/plain
and has no plaintext part. It views fine, but when replying to
it, it is not quoted. We have no issues with the original HTML
+ quoted-printable messages from the same sender, but their
replies to our replies always come in this base64-only format (I
wonder if their Barracuda spam firewall is doing this?)
This *faintly* sounds like an issue that may have occurred many
years ago, but IIRC it was either an issue with a specific PHP
version (possibly dealing with variable references) or has long
since been fixed in IMP and/or Horde.

Indeed, I was going off this old ticket[1], though the difference
is that person got raw base64 in the reply quote; I get nothing.
PHP version is 4.3.1; currently I can (if necessary) upgrade to a
later 4.3 version, but I'm not able to go beyond that without full
code-review of the other application on the same server.
Horde platform is groupware-H5 pear on Windows/Apache2.2, all up
to date excepting imp-6.1.5 (and I see nothing in changelog that
might address this).
Thanks,
Robin Bankhead
Arggg - sorry, the above should have read PHP 5.3.1 (Thanks for the
catch, Simon).
Not sure what ticket you are linking to... there was no link in the message.
Sorry, forgot to footnote it:
http://bugs.horde.org/ticket/?id=1077
As you say, very old; different symptoms though.
I *really* think this is probably the issue though. My memory is
that there were bugs in the past relating to PHP variable references
that may cause this kind of behavior. And I would also classify PHP
5.3.1 as ancient ... it's over 5 years old. I personally would not
want to be running 5 year old code that is potentially publicly
accessible to the Internet, if just for security reasons.
michael
Personally I wouldn't either, but it's not, so I have the luxury of
prioritising the stability of my codebase. Even so, I bet you'd find
plenty of web hosts where 5.3 is still deployed - the need to
guarantee *functional* continuity/stability is pretty big in that
context too. I rather imagined that was why horde's INSTALL file
specifies the requirement as 5.3.0 and up.
Could you offer any pointers as to where in the code I should be looking?
Regards,
Robin Bankhead
