Basically, mu_message_get_body(msg, &body); mu_body_get_stream(body,
&stream); mu_stream_read(stream, buf, sizeof(buf) 0, &ret);  

To obtain the data as above, then if you send a GnuPG key from Evolution
which uses Quoted-printable encoding and the GnuPG key contains =, or
consecutive ==, stream_read returns =3D=3D, as Evolution sent it.  If it
helps my program is at
http://alastair.gatheringofgray.com/darp-0.4.4.tar.gz and the relevant
code and hack are in darp_mailbox.c...  

GnuPG keys might be the key to reproducing this bug.  Perhaps I have
done something wrong (I don't think so though). Anyway again if this is
not sufficient please write back.

sincerely
