    "=20" getting appended to each line of a text file when downloaded from a pop server.

    Hi all,

    I am working on windows 2000 and using php 5.0 and apache 2.0.59.
    I am facing a problem while parsing a text file.Actually I am using a pop server for parsing an email.I am downloading new mails from that server using php and parsing the attachments.I want to parse text files as well. BUt when i save the attached .txt file on my machine, "=20" gets appended at the end of every line.

    If the file is an xml file, sometimes "=90" gets appended. I can't figure out as why is this happening and how to rectify it.

    waiting for your valuable replies,

    thanks.

          Hey, thanks for such a quick reply,

          I am writing an api for e-mail parsing which extracts the mails from the email server and parses the attachments if any,and save the data from those attchments.in db.

          Now when the attachment is a .txt file,and when i save it , "=20" gets automatically appended to each line.plz see below,

          this is the original content of the text file which was attached to the mail(by myself for testing purpose).

          and now look at what it looks like when it is saved on the hard disk from the incoming mail.
