Updated ripMIME 1.4-dev

An incorrect decoding error for QP encoded files has been fixed in the latest 1.4-dev release.

This logical error could allow for viruses to be specially crafted to slip past existing AV scanners.

The apple-double mime type is rather rare for PC users to encounter, though it's quite common between mac users :-)

Best thing I can suggest is to send a copy of the mailpack/email that causes trouble to mailpacks [at] pldaniels, we'll
digest/decode it there and find out what's going on. As for a work-around, you could try using the
--disable-qmail-bounce option on ripMIME, as that typically can make decoding take a lot longer.

Paul.
