Allan has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
I recently had the misfortune of accidently directing MS Outlook Express to download *delete* my Imap mail. Well I sought an answer to getting it back on Google, and I managed to
select all of it and "forward" it to myself, saving it as one giant mime (or quasi-Mime) file.But it is not am mbox file anymore, but a huge multipart-mixed file, with hints like:
"X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.50.4522.1200"
"X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.50.4522.1200"
I am looking for some perl to split these things up back into normal mbox format.
Yes, it would be a fun exercise in Perl using Mime::Tools, but I really don't have the time to write this for one file. (Nor do I hope to do this ever again)
Anyone already write something like this? PS: Tried to coax Pine to read it.. NG
