Hi Monks

I have written a script which parses mbox and updates into the database. When i get a mail with 8859 character set or quoted printable format, i parse it by

$message_body =~ s/=([ 0-9A-Fa-f ]{2})/chr(hex($1))/ge; $message_body =~ s/=\n//g; $message_body =~ s/=3D/=/g; $message_body =~ s/>/>\n/g;
Now the problem is while parsing mails whose body contains hyperlinks with key/value pair, like
http://www.foo.com/bar.pl?aid=3D2744&bid=3D&cn=3DOM= Ddemo2&rid=3D0
the message body written to db doesnt contain any hyperlinks. Is there any way to solve this problem

Thanks
Sridhar
