Gassho!
I want to parse the plain text portion out of email messages ((in casu sent to MS Outlook but from any (ie unknown) mailers) end lisp).
Before i go dig & hack the modules at CPAN (pt i have very limited knowledge of mail formats, mime & such...), i'd like to ask if any of the reverend monks here can point me to a suitable module for this simple email text extraxtion task, preferably a "lite" version, as the simple extraction is the only thing i want to perform at this pt. of time.
A pointer to a digestible, crisp & low carb tutorial on mail formats (and possibly parsing) is also much appreciated.

Thanks --
Allan
