PLEASE HELP!!!!!! I need to remove blank lines from the eml files I am creating using my script with net::pop3. Speciffically I would like to remove the blank line after the string "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit" in the eml files. I will attach my script below. What it does is download mail, split it into .eml files with a random incremented number as the file name. However the format is messed up because of that space after that line. Thanks ##############################################
use Net::POP3;
# Constructors
$pop = Net::POP3->new('', Timeout => 60);
$i = int rand(10000000000000);
if ($pop->login("", "") > 0) {
my $msgnums = $pop->list; # hashref of msgnum => size
foreach my $msgnum (keys %$msgnums) {
open(MAILBOX, ">$i.eml")
or die "Cannot open Mailbox file $timestamp$i.eml";
print "Writing to $i.eml\n";
$i++;
my $msg = $pop->get($msgnum);
print MAILBOX @$msg;
# $pop->delete($msgnum);
close(MAILBOX)
or die "Cannot close mailbox";
}
}
$pop->quit;<\code>
