Hi All,

I have written a progam which parses incoming emails using Mime::Tools, it works great, but it will send an error back to the sender with the following error:
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /home/scr
+ipt.pl line 48, <STDIN> line 20.

This is the section of the code that the error is referring to, it seems to be erroring when it enters it into mysql. $from, $url, $name are defined earlier in the script.. 
$mbody = $dbh->quote($body);
$msubject = $dbh->quote($subject);
my $rv = $dbh->do(qq{INSERT INTO table values (
    "NULL", "ME", "testing", "$from", "$url", "$name", "3", "$category
+", $msubject, $mbody)}
    );

I have used dbh-qoute with the subject/body of the email when putting it in the database, but for some reason it is returning that error..

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated
Thanks a lot
