Nicolas,
Thanks for your help. I tried using it in the form of
cat mailfile.txt | /usr/local/bin/s.mime.002.pr
and received the below error message.
Can't locate object method "tmp_recycling" via package "MIME::Parser"
at /usr/local/bin/s.mime.002.prl line 17.
I have perl-MIME-tools-5.420-2.el5.rf.noarch installed.
Any ideas?
Greg
