stdin replacing 80th character with =
I'm sure that there is quite a simple solution to this, but so far, I'm not having any luck. I'm redirecting e-mail to a perl script that uses Email::Filter and then does some parsing and forwarding.
I'm using Email::Filter->new() to pull it into a variable. When I forward the message and output the body, every 80th character is replaced with an equals sign. It's clearly representing the new line, but no matter what I can't get rid of them. I've tried using substitution (s/\n\r//gi) and chomp, but neither are clearing them up. I want the message to be in its original form - with the lines concatenated as it was sent.
What am I missing? How can I correct this and get the lines back to their original length?
Thanks,
Doug

mail::filter
Mail::Filter(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Mail::Filter(3)
NAME
Mail::Filter - Filter mail through multiple subroutines
SYNOPSIS
use Mail::Filter;
my $filter = Mail::Filter->new( &filter1, &filter2 );
my $mail = Mail::Internet->new( [<>] );
my $mail = $filter->filter($mail);
my $folder = Mail::Folder->new( .... );
my $filter->filter($folder);
DESCRIPTION
"Mail::Filter" provides an interface to filtering Email through multiple subroutines.
"Mail::Filter" filters mail by calling each filter subroutine in turn. Each filter subroutine is called with two arguments, the first is
the filter object and the second is the mail or folder object being filtered.
The result from each filter sub is passed to the next filter as the mail object. If a filter subroutine returns undef, then "Mail::Filter"
will abort and return immediately.
The function returns the result from the last subroutine to operate on the mail object.
METHODS
Constructors
Mail::Filter->new([FILTER [, ... ]])
Create a new "Mail::Filter" object with the given filter subroutines. Each filter may be either a code reference or the name of a
method to call on the <Mail::Filter> object.
Accessors
$obj->add(FILTER [, FILTER ...])
Add the given filters to the end of the filter list.
Processing
$obj->filter(MAIL-OBJECT | MAIL-FOLDER)
If the first argument is a "Mail::Internet" object, then this object will be passed through the filter list. If the first argument is a
"Mail::Folder" object, then each message in turn will be passed through the filter list.
$obj->folder()
While the "filter" method is called with a "Mail::Folder" object, these filter subroutines can call this method to obtain the folder
object that is being processed.
$obj->msgnum()
If the "filter" method is called with a "Mail::Folder" object, then the filter subroutines may call this method to obtain the message
number of the message that is being processed.
