Hi Monks

I'm using the Mail::MboxParser::Mail module to get an email from STDIN eg. 
my $msg = Mail::MboxParser::Mail->new([<STDIN>],[<STDIN>]);

[download]
In my code i have used the code: 
my %mail = ( To      =>   $msg->from->{email},
             From    =>  "$listname-admin\@myhost.com",
                          Subject =>  'User Subscribed 
                          Message =>  "The email address $email, has b
+een subscribed to the $listname mailing list\n"
           );

[download]
The email which is being passed to this script, is a reply to an email sent in the same way from a different sub.

This code will work fine with all email clients that i've seen except for outlook express.
Outlook express tackles "reply"ing to emails in a different way to most mail clients.
Has anyone had a similar problem with Outlook Express emails, and does anyone know of a work around?
Maybe i could read the email from STDIN and use regex's to parse the email and make it a more suitable format.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
