I also have a friend who is seeing this same problem so I'd imagine that more and more users will struggle with this. Whilst it's not a squirrelmail problem, it does leave a sour taste in the mouth :-(
It has been quite a journey to get this far, and finding this forum has also been quite a challenge.
Anyway, I appreciate you help. Thanks.

Hi Folks,
I'm a newbie to this so please be patient... I've looked through the previous questions and see many similar topics, however, what I haven't seen is closure on this subject. What I'm looking for is a means by which I can get this problem resolved and my server in to production usage.
Please note that you posted this email to the admin list... In future remember to make sure you don't see -admin in the email address when trying to post to the list.
Here's my problem (machine details to follow after!)
[..]
If I look at the attachment in the /var/spool/squirrelmail/attach
directory (after attaching the message but before hitting the send button it is very clear that the image is much larger than original), on
further investigation I can see that the image has been corrupted (try
using gimp). So, it looks like something with the transferring of the
image from the local (client) machine to the server machine is going
wrong...
Unfortunately due to the way SquirrelMail works, I can say with fair certainty that this isn't a SquirrelMail bug, and I'd be more inclined to point towards Apache/PHP combination (possibly caused by distribution specific combinations, or configurations maybe?). The reason I say this is the files in attach are put there by PHP. SquirrelMail does no encoding, or file manipulation, apart from telling PHP to copy from a temp file, which PHP creates, to the attach directory. At no point during compose does PHP read the content of the file, or manipulate any data within it. The encoding of the data is done when you hit the send button. So apart from the copy/move command, we don't do anything with the files at the point you're examining them. I suggest you check with RedHat, and see if they have any bugs open/fixed on this issue, or have newer packages for Apache/PHP.
