It was the from the URL to you specify below. Specifically, it was the
version 4 script. I made some minor chages to fetch ANOMY and ANOMY_CONF
from the environment, instead using hard coded values in the script. But
I didn't include them in the patch because I considered them to be
site specific changes. This might explain any offsets in the patch.

Virus gateway rewriting the script? This sounds very plausible.

I just down loaded the version 5 script:
http://advosys.ca/papers/filter-misc/tnef2multipart.pl
If I use wget, wget retrieve the file correctly.
If I repeat with mozilla using privoxy as a proxy, the file is corupted.
(privoxy is aka Internet junk buster).
If I tell mozilla to not use a proxy, the file is retrieved correctly
Conclusion: The file corruption was happening locally on my machine
because I was using privoxy.
My appologies for 'crying wolf' here.
