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

NAME
Email::Send::IO - Send messages using IO operations SYNOPSIS
use Email::Send; my $mailer = Email::Send->new({mailer => 'IO'}); $mailer->send($message); # To STDERR $mailer->mailer_args('filename.txt'); $mailer->send($message); # write file DESCRIPTION
This is a mailer for "Email::Send" that will send a message using IO operations. By default it sends mail to STDERR, very useful for debug- ging. The IO functionality is built upon "IO::All". Any additional arguments passed to "send" will be used as arguments to "IO::All::io". You can globally change where IO is sent by modifying the @Email::Send::IO::IO package variable. @Email::Send::IO::IO = ('-'); # always append to STDOUT. Examples Sending to STDOUT. send IO => $message, '-'; Send to a socket. send IO => $message, 'server:1337'; SEE ALSO
