Re: [PEAR-BUG] Bug #17959 [NEW]: Boundaries ending with non-word characters are ignored

Alex, the bug system is playing up, so I'm can't update a response.

boundary split should split on the boundary string, followed by a line 
break.  - Can you
add a full email example where this problem occurs, either to this bug 
report, or create a new one.

Regards
Alan
