First off let me say that I'm new to Mail::IMAPClient and this project I've been assigned will be my first that may use it. We are a Unix shop and we house our member's emails on our server. We are using WebEdge to interface with the messages. One of our doctors(or more) has an email with a worm. We know the email has a .bat in the body and thats about it. So what I'm needing to do is traverse through the email directories and look for this in the body and print to a file or something the location of this email. First off I'm not sure how Mail::IMAPClient even enters this picture but our "Perl God" told me I'd probably want to use it. In fact, my understanding of IMAP is a bit sketchy(didn't even hear of it till yesterday ;-). It seems that the emails are in some sort of format. And mail programs such as WebEdge use IMAP protocol to communicate with this type of format???? Any help on understanding this would be appreciated. many thanks, byron "When you sell a man a book, you don't sell him 12 ounces of paper and ink and glue - you sell him a whole new life." - Christopher Morley "Thanks O'REILLY." - Me _______________________________________________________ Send a cool gift with your E-Card http://www.bluemountain.com/giftcenter/ _______________________________________________ Perl-Unix-Users mailing list.
