Hi.

I'm trying to retrieve an attachment from an email. I've tried using the MIME modules, but can't get this working right.

The following is the email's content...

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

------=_NextPart_000_0007_01C210A9.5C28F260
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
boundary="----=_NextPart_001_0008_01C210A9.5C28F260"




------=_NextPart_001_0008_01C210A9.5C28F260
Content-Type: text/plain;
charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

Hi This is a test. Ralph.

 How can I retrieve the gif file from all this data?

The MIME module is really complex, and I can't seem to get this working in any way.

Please help.

Thanks,
Ralph.
