Checking POP Email - Text Only

l008com

I use the POP Pear extension to read emails from a mail server. It works well, but the getBody function gets the entire text of the email, the plain text portion then the html portion. Is there any easy way to have it grab only the plain text portion, skipping the html and any other part of the email? Like inline attachments etc?

well... since you know the plain text comes first, followed by the html version, why not just parse the return from getBody to only scrape from the beginning to right before the <html> tag?

e.g.

this is plain text

<html>
...

this is plain text

...
</html>

grab everything before <html>

There are no <html> tags in emails. At least, not most of the email I get that have a plain text part and HTML part

How about parsing the MIME properly? This package looks like it might be helpful.
