SMTP protocol uses 7bit ASCII characters, so your emails must be properly encoded. You can read more about this at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIME. BTW, you can use tmail gem in order to decode your emails. I suspect something like this should work: require 'rubygems' require 'tmail' email = TMail::Mail.parse(email_text) puts email.body -- Kent --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
