in reply to Reading Mail::Message objects using Mail::POP3Client

I did it the hard way and wrote my own parser. It's really fat (not phat in a good way) and still has some problems. Namely, really large attachments can bog it down. I had to add a kill statement incase a user wasn't patient. Plus i needed a subroutine for every attachment type too. Still not done, always adding file types i never heard of. If you brave the rapids, it was a good exercise for me avec decoding/encoding/parsing.

Source code found at: http://perl.to/lib/webmailcgi.txt

For runnning on a webserver, put it in a folder on your website with suexec enabled. The webmail.cgi program builds the folder structure needed to run.
