Hi, I wrote the node you are replying to, thought I was logged in but wasn't.

It looks like you can just take the body of the email -- it may not be MIME encoded at all from the looks of things -- and run it straight through the HTML::TokeParser code I included to take out the text, without checking the type. In other words, just take the code starting at #You have an HTML part in part body through print $plain_text; and put it in your final else block where the Data Dumper code is right now.
