You’ll need to find the base64 encoded part, generally marked by “Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64″ and then you can decode that chunk.

Would it help to add a base64_decode () function to the wp-mail.php file?

I’ve been trying to sort out my wp-mail file so that I can post from my blackberry as well as upload files. I created a file on my website (http://melindamusil.com/wp-mail/) with my “collection” of wp-mail.php files. They’re all saved as .txts so that you can see them and make recommendations as you see fit.

wp-mailorig is the “original” wp-mail file that you get when you download wordpress.
wp-mailpostmaster is the slightly adjusted file that came with the Postmaster plugin. PM allows for uploading of files (pics, vid) via email. However it does not decode base64 in emails sent through my blackberry.
Trials 1, 2, and 3 are various wp-mail files that I have created with the goal of a file that can upload files as well as interpret text from my blackberry. None of them were successful, but perhaps they will give you some ideas.

If you have any questions, ideas, or solutions, please email me at melinda@melindamusil.com!

You should be able to fix the base64 issue with base64_decode(). I needed to add this code to grab base64 encoding:

// split by: quoted-printable or base64 (even with improper transfer encoding header)
if (strpos($content, "Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable") !== false)
	$content = explode('Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable', $content);
else if (strpos($content, "Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable") !== false)
	$content = explode('Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable', $content);
else if (strpos($content, "Content-transfer-encoding: base64") !== false) {
	$content = explode('Content-transfer-encoding: base64', $content);
	$base64 = true;
} else if (strpos($content, "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64") !== false) {
	$content = explode('Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64', $content);
	$base64 = true;
}

// BlackBerry Conversion Code
$content = $content[1];
if ($base64) $content = base64_decode($content);

I updated my wp-mail.php download with this code along with my twitter updater code I blogged about recently.

Without knowing exactly what you have on lines 161-162 I can only assume that you have a mismatched bracket pair and are missing the ending bracket ‘}’. If you want post the code on those lines or send me the wp-mail.php file via the “Contact Joel” link above.

With the postmaster plugin installed, I can email posts to my site and they are uploaded successfully BUT they appear in Base64 code, so it’s a jumbled mess of letters and words, and I have to fix it later.

I made the changes you mentioned (after installing postmaster) but that only created an error within wordpress when it “checks its email account” (Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘}’ in ***mysite***/wp-mail.php on line 162).

Do you have any thoughts on how to fix this, and how to make it possible to email from the blackberry (without it appearing in Base64 code) and to upload files via email?

Thanks!
