You may have to do some splitting of the message to separate the encoded parts... But the encoded parts can always be un-encoded using something like the perl MIME::Base64 module. That module is not part of the distro, but could be gotten from CPAN. I've not looked at what they do since I've not had a need, but you can also investigate these that do come with as part of the distro. perl-Email-MIME perl-Email-MIME-Attachment-Stripper perl-Email-MIME-ContentType perl-Email-MIME-Encodings -- A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof was to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools. -- Douglas Adams in "Mostly Harmless -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
