mime parser

[sid_o]

Hi all,

i am trying to decode a raw email,

i succedded to get the headers such as the from & to & subjects field

but i seem to have a problem extracting the attachment.

does anybody has a clue how to check if there is an attachment & how to save it in a directory?

 

thanks for the help.

The attachment header would be included at the beginning of the email:

 

Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="==--somewhereboundaryhere=="

 

And then the email attachment might look something like:

 

Content-Type: x-application/zip; name="MyFile"

Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

 

Then its just data encoded which will have the boundary on a separate line.

 

As for how to actually parse it.. that's something I haven't done, I've only created emails with attachments, not the other way around.
