well, I'm just not sure where to go now!! :o(

I've got a system, where emails are being sent out with text in the body.
When a user replies to this email, I'm trying to get the body of the message
and then decipher the text.
For 99% of the time this works fine.

they way I'm doing this is using the MIME::POP3Client module to log into the
pop3 account, and step through each email and process it.
I'm decoding the subject and body message using MIME::WordDecoder and
getting the subject line using Mail::Header.

But there are some systems which cause problems..
shitty Novell Groupwise servers, if the mail from my system is routed
through this piece of crap, and quoted printable is turned on, it puts an =
(soft break) at the 76 character. Which other than doing a regex on the body
before could screw me up.
Also, Lotus Notes, it seems if the client does a quick reply,
MIME::POP3Client doesnt seem to process it, yet if the do a 'long' reply it
does...

so apart from trying to cater for a load of systems, has anyone, got a
simple generic email program that get's the subject, from address and body
of an email ??

TIA

Geoff
