Heya gang,

I have run into programs that don't deal correctly with MIME-encoded
data sent within a form.

The program in question is Persists Software's Asp Upload.  When
I mailed the president of Persists software, he told me that the reason
his product does not comply with the RFC's suggestion of 2 - characters
is because all major browsers send a minimum of 10 - characters.

The way we got around the issue was to hack Common.pm and hardcode 12 -
characters to preceed all MIME-encoded data.

This makes for difficult upgrades, of course.  :)  I was hoping that an
argument could be added to the module to specify the number of -
characters to preceed MIME-encoded data, but still default to 2 if the
argument was not specified.  Does anyone see any issues that may arise
from this?

Thanks in advance,

C.J.
