in reply to best module to read e-mail from a POP3 account

In the previous recent thread parsing and printing e-mail, keszler suggested the Email::MIME module.

Here's a test program that uses Email::MIME to pull apart a full message. You should be able to figure out how to isolate just the parts you want.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use warnings; use Email::MIME; my $body = join("",(<DATA>)); my $email = Email::MIME->new($body); print "===== Top Header =====\n"; print "From: ".($email->header("From"))."\n"; print "Date: ".($email->header("Date"))."\n"; print "Subject: ".($email->header("Subject"))."\n"; print "\n===== Top Body =====\n"; print "".($email->body())."\n"; my @parts = $email->parts(); print "There are ".@parts." parts in this message.\n"; my $p = 0; foreach my $part (@parts) { $p++; print "\n===== Part $p Header =====\n"; print "Content-Type: ".($part->header("Content-Type"))."\n"; print "Content-Transfer-Encoding: ".($part->header("Content-Transf +er-Encoding"))."\n"; print "\n===== Part $p Body =====\n"; print "".($part->body())."\n"; } __DATA__ From: homer@simpson.net To: marge@simpson.net Subject: Bart and Lisa Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2009 12:17:23 -0700 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="----=_NextPart_000_0009_01CA7F30.7F3A37C0" Mime-Version: 1.0 This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_0009_01CA7F30.7F3A37C0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit From: sender@email.address Sent: Wednesday, December 16, 2009 9:28 PM To: test@email.address Subject: This is the subject This is the body. ------=_NextPart_000_0009_01CA7F30.7F3A37C0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <html> <head> <body> This is the body. </body> </html> ------=_NextPart_000_0009_01CA7F30.7F3A37C0--

Output from the program:

===== Top Header ===== From: homer@simpson.net Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2009 12:17:23 -0700 Subject: Bart and Lisa ===== Top Body ===== This is a multi-part message in MIME format. There are 2 parts in this message. ===== Part 1 Header ===== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit ===== Part 1 Body ===== From: sender@email.address Sent: Wednesday, December 16, 2009 9:28 PM To: test@email.address Subject: This is the subject This is the body. ===== Part 2 Header ===== Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable ===== Part 2 Body ===== <html> <head> <body> This is the body. </body> </html>
