HI all,
I have about 600-700 email in maildir accounts of a dozen users I have to resend to another account. Some have attachments some are html and still some are just plain text. I've used MIME::Parser,Entity,Body,...etc... to parse emails and save attachments write log files etc... But I've never had to do a forward like this.

I basically have to send the email so it looks as close to the original as possible. All attachments must be correct and intact the from address and reply to address should be the same and the only difference should be the To: address.

Is there a module that will do all of this. Or should I use the parser and then a smtp module? Will the body of a parsed email preserve the attachment when resend it?
Any help would be great.

Thanks,
chrisj
