Thanks! That did the trick... so simple, yet for some reason I tried every thing but.

I like the example below this, because it has a lot of things I have never used before, so I'll get a chance to try em out, but unfortunatly it didn'T work for me as is. I got

write-open ./msg-2379-1.txt: Permission denied at /usr/lib/perl5/site_
+perl/5.6.0/MIME/Body.pm line 414, <TMP> line 22.
[download]

and since this one is quicker and simpler, I'll put it inot production and try to figure the other one out later...
