Make sure that you can reproduce your error in standard SquirrelMail
installation
with only attachment_tnef plugin enabled or show your winmail.dat file.

I can't reproduce error with tnef attachments used for testing. mailbox
parameter is
set and attachments are downloaded correctly.

Tomas,

I don't have a spare machine lying around to do my testing right now, but
I think I know what happened.

I didn't start out with 1.4.6 on a fresh install of SM. I upgraded to it.
I think when I did this upgrade, some of the configuration got messed up
or something. I did something like apt-get upgrade and it suppose to
upgrade without any problems. This happened to me few days ago with
Dovecot. After I upgraded it, no one could pop anymore, I kept getting
errors in the mail log. I checked the configs and all was the same as whe=
n
I first configed it. After about an hour of hair pulling, I just
reinstalled and configured it and all was ok again. I also am now
encountering a problem with html_mail after I unselected it to see if
there were plugin conflicts with attachment_tnef. When I selected it back=
,
the spell checker isn't working right. It'll spell check, but it spell
checks nothing, even when something is typed in, it's just blank. I tried
redownloading it and installed the newly downloaded one but it's screwed,
so I'm not using it right now.

I think I need to reinstall SM but someone is using notes and I believe
this is stored in the MySQL db. My question is do I only need to backup
the SQL db since all the prefs and address book is stored in SQL? What
about calendar? I'm using the SQL backend for that. Is there any resyncin=
g
of the DBs that would have to be done so that the users will have their
prefs and address book up right after I reinstall SM?

I don't know if this a new bug or if this a rare situation that's being
worked on in the new version or an administrator problem. If this is an
unknown bug, let me know so I can report it.

Thanks though, Tomas, for your help.

Tony

You don't need a separate machine to test SquirrelMail. get standard
SquirrelMail package from http://www.squirrelmail.org, install it in
different location on same server and test it.

Please understand that when you talk about SquirrelMail 1.4.6, we assume
standard SquirrelMail version and not some version modified by third
party. Please make sure that you can reproduce your issue in standard
SquirrelMail package with only tnef plugin enabled.

If you use some PHP cache or optimizer, make sure that you restart apache
after php scripts are upgraded.

Tomas,

OK. I downloaded the tar file from the SquirrelMail.org site and installed
it. I followed what the quick & dirty said to do. Attachment_tnef was the
first and only plugin that I installed and it still gave me the same error.
Could it be because I'm using maildir format or the location it's installed
in?
This is really fustrating.

Thanks,
Tony

First step in debugging the problem is to enable display of php errors and
set error_reporting to E_ALL.

Test your php settings (http://www.squirrelmail.org/wiki/TestPHPSettings)

If you have register_long_arrays option set to off, turn it on or find
"$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['QUERY_STRING']" text in tnef.php file and replace it
with " $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']"

Please note that the SQL calendar backend ONLY supports the
shared_calendar plugin; the plugin page is a bit misleading in that
sense.  If you have the SQL backend but not the shared calendar
installed, then all your calendar data is in your prefs directory and
not in the database.  There is info in the shared calendars plugin
README about upgrading should you decide to change to the shared
calendars plugin.

First step in debugging the problem is to enable display of php errors and
set error_reporting to E_ALL.

Test your php settings (http://www.squirrelmail.org/wiki/TestPHPSettings)

If you have register_long_arrays option set to off, turn it on or find
"$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['QUERY_STRING']" text in tnef.php file and replace it
with " $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']"

This is what I get in the begug mode:

Notice: Undefined variable: HTTP_SERVER_VARS in
/usr/share/squirrelmail/plugins/attachment_tnef/tnef.php on line 171

Thanks
I also want to thank Paul for helping me.

Tomas already gave you the solution to that error.
