Hmm, Im pretty sure it still fails.  We tried it also with 4.4.0. I did
notice though that if you cut and paste the phps file that the spaces do
not appear in $enctext in the first line.  Perhaps you can try again and
manually put spaces at the beginning of each line, or you can download a
tgz of the php file here:

This bug was first reported in
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=1596 
however the patch listed there was either never applied or does not
work.

Description:
------------
RFC 2045 says:
"All line breaks or other characters not found in Table 1 must be
ignored by decoding software."

However if a caracter such as a space is in the encoded data (which
some encoders such as newegg.com do) then the base64_decode does not
work.

Reproduce code:
---------------

or
http://www.worldlinked.net/blog/files/testbase64.phps


Expected result:
----------------
Hello, There seems to be a problem with php's base64_decode() function.
Whitespace needs to be trimmed from the email before it will properly
decode.

Actual result:
--------------
