Hello
Can u please tell me as how can split an attachment from the mail.
If yes pls mail me back as soon as possible. already i wrote a
perl program that is parsing the mail but if any mail comes with an
attachment is is in the MIME format and it comes with the mail body
so kindly help me to solve this problem. I know this is really a
silly matter that u all can solve it within a couple of hours
Thanks

by "* ^From +\/[^ ]+ " (the

1. Why would you want the MATCH to end in a space?
(AFAIK, \/ is greedy-to-the-right)
2. Using ^^From in stead of ^From is more accurate here.
3. E-mail-addresses are allowed to have embedded whitespace.
From rfc822: 3.1.4. STRUCTURED FIELD BODIES
Note: For purposes of display, and when passing such structured
information to other systems, such as mail protocol services,
there must be NO linear-white-space between <word>s that are
separated by period (".") or at-sign ("@") and exactly one SPACE
between all other <word>s. Also, headers should be in a folded form.

I think the discrepency here is that an email address, in my
parallel universe, matches with the above statement.
However many email addresses, using the reference of "^From .*"
results in white space being used to seperate the first and last
names of the person sending the email.
The difference between "From " and "From: " makes a nasty
difference for email coming from mailing lists and email coming
from real people. If I get this right so far, for most mailing
lists, "From " matches the mailing list and "From: " matches the
person (Ruud H.G. van Tol)
