Re: Problem receiving emails in base64

1. Outlook has resources to scan entire message, because it already has
entire message and it runs on user's machine with small number of users
and processes. PHP scripts can't do that. Scripts must get message from
server, store it somewhere and parse it. PHP scripts run on server. If
they waste time on something, waste of resources is multiplied by number
of webmail users.

2. Microsoft is not standards organization. Nor it is famous for following
the standards.

3. Your IMAP server does not waste time scanning entire message, because
message is plain text according to message headers. SquirrelMail scripts
get information about message structure from IMAP server.
