Re: saving attachments of mail in MIME format

[Priyanka porwal]

Thanks, I tried using MIME-Tools-5.4.11.tar.gz
I'm facing an interesting problem. I'm using the following code to dump the
mail.
Now I'm receiving a file "encrypted.txt" in mail as attachment. The code
works fine & it dumps the contents & the attachment also.
I have set my .procmailrc as

:0 c
|perl DumpMail.pl >DumpMail.txt
:0
|perl Customizer.pl

Now in Customizer.pl I want to use the attachment "encrypted.txt" , but it
tells me that file does not exist which is actually seen
on doing ls. Kindly guide me to rectify this problem.

Thanks & Regards,
Priyanka
