Hi there, I would like to ask some suggestions on my following problem:
I am making a small tool which allows you to store incomming mail in a database table. This mail is then scanned on keywords etc etc and with the help of some status bits the priority is given. Via a webpage interface, people can then answer these emails... I started out by creating a extra Mailbox to which I route all the incoming mail. With the help of a Cron-Job which runs a PHP class made by Manual Lemos to retrieve POP mail I retrieve the mail and insert it into a database table (MySQL) So far so good! Only problem which I have is that some (=most) people create email with clients that output email with HTML codes (Internet Explorer for example).. I am not really interested in any attachment, pictures etc which are sent with the email, only the plain email body is important. For emails that contain HTML tags, I think that stripping the HTML tags will do enough for me.. I do though have a problem when dealing with emails in which text is Mime-encoded. The Mime_Class from Manual encodes everything for example.. Before I spend a great deal of time making some code which can decode and strip all the diferent email-client formats, isn't there a class out there which can get me the plain text email body out of a raw retrieved email..?? The Mailling-list archives of this PHP maillinglist at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general for example contains very nicely stripped emails of all the members.. Does anyone khow this is done..? Thanks in advance for any help.. With kind regards..
