I am using MIME::Parser to parse email messages. The problem is that I can not get the electronic address (joe@somewhere.com) from the header, only "Joe". MIME::Parser does not seem to read the <joe@somewhere.com> part at all, how do I retrieve it? The file, test.eml contains the following email:
Message-ID: <001401c237bd$138f72f0$0100007f@WM> From: "Joe" <joe@somewhere.com> To: "Mary" <mary@test.com> Subject: Test Date: Tue, 30 Jul 2002 13:34:33 +0200 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2600.0000 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2600.0000 test
The following code produces the dump at the bottom:
my $oParser = new MIME::Parser; $oMail = $oParser->parse_open("test.eml"); print $oMail->print();
Message-ID: <001401c237bd$138f72f0$0100007f@WM> From: "Joe" To: "Mary" Subject: Test Date: Tue, 30 Jul 2002 13:34:33 +0200 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2600.0000 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2600.0000 test
Thank you for your help!
