"=20" getting appended to each line of a text file when downloaded from a pop server.

[thenewuser]

Hi all,

I am working on windows 2000 and using php 5.0 and apache 2.0.59.
I am facing a problem while parsing a text file.Actually I am using a pop server for parsing an email.I am downloading new mails from that server using php and parsing the attachments.I want to parse text files as well. BUt when i save the attached .txt file on my machine, "=20" gets appended at the end of every line.

If the file is an xml file, sometimes "=90" gets appended. I can't figure out as why is this happening and how to rectify it.

waiting for your valuable replies,

thanks.

Hey, thanks for such a quick reply,

I am writing an api for e-mail parsing which extracts the mails from the email server and parses the attachments if any,and save the data from those attchments.in db.

Now when the attachment is a .txt file,and when i save it , "=20" gets automatically appended to each line.plz see below,

this is the original content of the text file which was attached to the mail(by myself for testing purpose).
