in reply to String Comparison Issue

Thank you moritz! That was spot on and the script is running as expected. Another question I have... Is there a way to only save a few sections of an email to file, or is it all or nothing? I would like only the following field: from, date/time, subject and the body.

    So what parts do you want stripped? That list looks to constitute close to a full email, apart from a number of rather irrelevant headers — because headers are relatively small.

    Unless you want to strip out attachments. In that case, you'll most likely will have to parse the mails as MIME mail.

    Then, instead of printing the whole email body to the result file, extract the wanted headers and print those to the output.
