ummm... The HTML starts only in the body. i.e. after all the headers. The first few lines are the usual doctype & meta tags etc. which is why you did not get anything useful out of it. It should not be a difficult task to remove them - strip html between the x-html and /x-html tags. I think there are small utilities already available which can strip HTML. Or it does not seem to be very difficult to write such a one. Peal being one of the better text processors perhaps PheeLip has a solooshan? The problem seems as to where we apply them [elegantly, that is]. But I am not clear about the passage of the email from client buffer to file[mailbox]. I will take this opportunity to request anyone who has an idea to please enlighten me. thanks. quasi _______________________________________________ http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
