Hi,
I read the body of an incoming mail with doc attachment in the variable $messagebody and need to get the doc-file saved on my harddisc.
But it does not work!

MIME::parser

*snip* Read email-body

my $parser = new MIME::parser;
$parser->output_dir("/tmp");
$parser->output_prefix("part");
my $entity = $parser->parse($messagebody) or die "couldn't parse MIME stream";

I got only an empty file like this:
part-1773-1.txt

Sorry but I have no experience with parser

Has anybody a hint what there is wrong?

Best regards
Christian
