Hi Fellow monks,

I'm wondering what's the best way or what's the best module to parse an email and get the decoded data in pure perl strings.

For instance, I'd love to parse something like that: 

                                                                      
+                                                                     
+                                                                     
+

And then be able to do: 

 my $mail = MagicMailModule->parse($data) ;
 my $to = $mail->To() ;
 my $from = $mail->From() ;
 my $body = $mail->Body() ;

Do you have an idea of what I could use ?

Thanks for any help !!
