Using:
movemail (GNU Mailutils) 3.9
mailutils: stable 3.9
for macOS 10.15.5 via
github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/HEAD/Formula/mailutils.rb
Retrieving message (via imaps to dovecot server) with header (main or
nested):
Content-Type: ... boundary="whatever"
when retrieved and placed into mbox becomes
Content-Type: ... boundary=whatever
So it appears that movemail is removing the quotes on a quoted boundary
string.
This can cause decoding of messages to fail. For example, in Emacs 26.3
RMAIL decode fails if the boundary string contains an equal sign;
boundary=...=... confuses the decoder, whereas with quotes intact
boundary="...=..." produces correct decoding of mime components with no
error.
