[rt-users] dumpfile-to-rt-3.0 problem: parser: unterminated quotedstring

Hi,

I've detected the reason of the problem, but I don't know how to woraroud
it.
The cause is that the attachment is marked as base64-encoded while IT IS
NOT!
It was base64-encoded in the RT2 database, I checked that up with direct SQL
query.
But serialized version of the ticket in the exported form contains decoded
content of the attachment.
I can't find decoding in rt-2.0-to-dumpfile script so it must be performed
somewhere in the RT library (probably $att->Content() do that???). So
dumpfile-to-rt-3.0 have to encode it back to base64 to be able to store it
to the database.

In this case the problem must be in this piece of code of the
rt-2.0-to-dumpfile script:

                  my $att_param ( sort keys %{ $att->{_AccessibleCache} } )
{
                        if ($att_param eq 'Content') {
                                $att_ds->{$att_param} = $att->Content();

                         } else {

                                $att_ds->{$att_param} =
$att->_Value($att_param)
                                        if (defined $att->_Value($att_param)
);
                         }

and actualy there is no need to decode attachment content if it is
base64-encoded?
