Well, first you connect to the email server, then you download the message, then you write it out (in whatever this ".eml" format is). Perhaps if you gave a micron of context (OS, what kind of email server (POP, IMAP), a link to some sort of reference to this ".eml" format, etc) someone might could give you a more cogent answer.

Greetings Anonymous Monk, You have not given us enough information to properly advise you. Please read the PerlMonks FAQ and How (Not) To Ask A Question. If you had used the Super Search tool you may have found nodes like Exchange Server and IMAP. If this is no help, please read the nodes I previously mentioned and provide more information and explain in detail exactly what you are trying to achieve. Martin	[reply]

You can check MIME-tools on cpan. Igor 'izut' Sutton your code, your rules.	[reply]

Google tells me that .eml files are something to do with Outlook. Searching CPAN for outlook gives this. You might find something useful among those modules. Polonius	[reply]
