in thread Extracting TEXT from email

How about you go study mimeexplode?

MJD says "you can't just make shit up and expect the computer to know what you mean, retardo!"
I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).

    I did try to run mimeexplode on a msg file, and it placed the body of the msg in a .txt file in a subdirectory.

    But this "exploded" file contains the same amount of binary & HTML "junk", so it does not spare me the job of post-filtering to get at the payload TEXT.

      That sounds hinky. Can you post a sample file?
