Mail::Box

[Phil Brewer]

Hi

I am trying to write a Perl script, using Mail::Box, to parse email messages
(stored on a Linux server) and write the message to a new file. While most
of the basics are straightforward (From, To, Subject, etc.) I am having
problems with the body of the email, especially attachments. I have manually
parsed the body and saved a Word attachment successfully but it is rather
'hit or miss' and I would like to do it properly. I have read the Mail-Box
pages on CPAN and the tutorials and other information at
http://perl.overmeer.net/mailbox/ but I cannot find any examples which
return the actual body text (or attachment) of the email without all the
other information. Any direction you can point me in would be greatly
appreciated.

Regards
Phil Brewer

Many thanks to Michael and Bill for your help. Although I could not find
exactly what I was looking for your suggestions guided me in other
directions and I have managed to parse the email and extract the attachment
when sent from a number of different sources.
