I ran the code that you posted but I can only get it to take a mime message and write a txt file with the same exact content. What am I doing wrong. I am pasting the test message below that I am passing it. It has text, html, and an attachment sent from netscape messenger. The function isn't recursing. $entity->parts always equals 0 Thanks for your help.

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
