Trimming Apple Mail to prevent iCloud storage from getting full
Authored by: selasley on Nov 16, '13 10:18:35AM

There is a longstanding bug in Mail where removing an attachment from a message with quoted-printable encoding can change the content. To see the bug, send a plain text message to yourself with a long line of text containing the string =41 =42 =43 =44 and an attachment. The long line should cause the body to be encoded as quoted-printable. If you remove attachments from the sent or received message the =41 =42 =43 =44 string now appears as A B C D. If you view the raw source of the message before and after removing attachments you can see that the encoded = characters, =3D, are now just = characters.
