How to make MIME::Parser store emails in .txt files

pankaj_it09 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello Monks,

The below code outputs the emails in .txt and .html format.
Sometimes the same email is output in both the formats.
How to output in .txt format only ?


    my $data = $imap->get_rfc822_body($msg);
    
    ### Create a new parser object:
    my $parser = new MIME::Parser;
    
    ### Tell it where to put things:
    $parser->output_under("I:/test");
    
    ### Parse an in-core MIME message:
    my $entity = $parser->parse_data($data);

Take a look at the last post on Extracting TEXT from email...actually, the whole node is sort of interesting. Goes a long way back, but you may find what you are looking for there at the end... Hope that is helpful... Update: Actaully, reading through Email:MIME it looks like you could do something with debug_structure and/or body_str. I have no experience with this, but it looks promising. ...the majority is always wrong, and always the last to know about it... Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results... wjw	[reply]
