So, what I need to do is process mail in mbox format:

1) Get a message
2) Do stuff to the body
3) Print the mail back, preserving attachments

I've tried this:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Mail::Mbox::MessageParser;
use Email::MIME;
use Encode;

my $infile = shift @ARGV;

Mail::Mbox::MessageParser::SETUP_CACHE(
    {
'file_name' => 'mbox.cache'
});

my $folder_reader = new Mail::Mbox::MessageParser({
'file_name' => $infile,
'enable_grep' => 1,
 });
 die $folder_reader unless ref $folder_reader;

 # This is the main loop. It's executed once for each email
 while(!$folder_reader->end_of_file()){
 my $rawemail = $folder_reader->read_next_email();
 my $email = Email::MIME->new($rawemail);

    $email->body_set("New Body Text");

      print $email->as_string

but it seems to ignore the new body..

If I include EMail::MIME:Modifier, the text "New Body Text" is printed, but no attachments....

How do I do this?

Thanks!
