Hi Jesse,<br>
<br>
What a surprise!!! Indeed it looks like Thunderbird was massaging the
forwarding email... I forwarded the very same ticket to my Hotmail
account and it looked just fine. As soon as I forwarded it to my local
work email account and have Thunderbird open it, the attachment became
uuencoded. This is probably done by some plug-in? I will investigate
and report back if I find any information.<br>
<br>
Thanks very much for your help!<br>
<br>

real ticket in our system.

The relevant code reads like this:
$mail->attach(
Type => 'message/rfc822',
Disposition => 'attachment',
Description => 'forwarded message',
Data => $entity->as_string,
);
Perhaps your local client is massaging the received message in some way.
Why don't you try forwarding a transaction to my address?
