In the SQL backend? Not sure what that would have to do with the data 
in Kolab, but the only thing that has changed recently there is 
updating the size of the description field in the schema. That, and 
some html2text conversions/size trimming when synchronizing via 
ActiveSync. Neither of which should cause any data to be base64 encoded.

One user here had created Notepad's (Kolab object folders) via Horde3 
a while back.

Then the user account got migrated to Horde5, fresh database, old 
Kolab backend with existing folders/objects.

Some days ago, he made me aware of the descriptions of Notepad's was 
showing a base64 encoded string (instead of a human-readable 
description for the Notepad).

Decoding that base64 encoded string resulted in the original description text.

With latest Mnemo version, I can change description and notepad name 
in various ways, the base64 encoded description does not return.

Is it possible, that the storage format for Notepad descriptions 
(which end-up in the Horde SQL DB, not in the Kolab backend somewhere) 
has changed some time recently?
