Read encrypted emails with IMAP

Question

I'm reading a mail box using IMAP functions in PHP.

Regular emails are opened properly and all information is parsed as it should.

However, encrypted emails just return a really long string, even though the same email is readable in the web client (Roundcube) without any problems.

How can I read these encrypted emails? Is there any flag or function I should be using instead of the imap_fetchbody()?

Thanks!

Answer 1

They are probably quoted printable or base64 encoded. Check the content transfer encoding header, and you should be able to decode them with appropriate functions.
