I figured it out. I knew it seemed stupid to not have some method of reading the unencoded file directly using the $entity that's already defined and accessing the full email. I just came across this: `### Read the (unencoded) body data: if ($io = $ent->open("r")) { while (defined($_ = $io->getline)) { print $_ } $io->close; }` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Yes, thanks, of course I knew that, but isn't it possible to read from the file since it's already opened?	[reply]

Use mimeexplode to unpack an email into a directory Then use any which way or Path::Tiny to read the files that got unpacked, they're like regular files at this point, not emails	[reply]

I meant that it already decodes it from the file being piped to STDIN, I just assumed there was also a function that allowed me to read that decoded stream as well. The output file that's created is already decoded, so I don't need any further MIME tools. I was also curious why the for() loop fails for $entry->parts for some reason. Isn't that a check for an encoded body or attachment?	[reply]
