Heh. The base64 ambiguity isn't Windows MUAs issue ;-) Just tested MUAs for
*nix:
1) kmail.
data truncated, warning
excellent!
2) pine. depending on input
* data truncated, warning reported
* decoding error reported
not too bad...
3) mutt depending on input
* decoding error reported
* input after padding is decoded
evil badness approaching!
4) emacs. similar to (3).
Also, tested perl MIME::Base64 - data truncated, no warnings (which is good for
MUA but bad for filters), uudecode - input after padding is decoded, cryptopp
(opensource crypto and enconding library) - paddings are ignored.
p.s. Windoze mustdie, *nix 4ever? ;-)
