in thread Extracting TEXT from email

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?
