Yeah, actually seems like a bug in Dada Mail, when you send a message via Bridge,

No - Base64 should be available without installing any extra modules - I'll look at that for you. I'm just as surprised - this app has been around for 20+ years now, and this is the first time I've had to investigate this particular issue! Life for the app started with *only* supporting sendmail.

If sending via SMTP, Dada Mail (or the Net::SMTP module that Dada Mail uses to send via SMTP) replaces a lone dot on a line with, =2E . For example, Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: inline MIME-Version: 1.0 Subject: Test ..................................................

sendmail is a command line utility to... send mail. How it works is sort of a black box, but it could inject a message straight into the mail queue, which would be sent out by the mail server (via SMTP), or something similar. It generally doesn't do any encoding or such. This sounds like an issue wi...

After that, just follow the upgrade instructions as usual. You...
