I understand the latter, but No, the method sends the full headers/messages encapsulated as message/rfc822 top level parts. The only change I see between the Mime Markers are these 4 lines (including the blank): ------=_NextPart_000_067D_01C591D1.7F02A7C0 Content-Type: message/rfc822 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: attachment From: etc............. <snip header and body> ------=_NextPart_000_067D_01C591D1.7F02A7C0 FYI: Mail::SpamAssassin::Message (and Node) do seems to have what I need, but so far on quick examination and a brief initial code attempt it escapes my understanding to use this immediately. After writing the following and trying Mail::SpamAssassin::Message (off and on all afternoon) I stumbled upon the tool intended for the job: MIME::Parser from MIME::Toolkit (which was already on my system) -- the pod doc examples had almost exactly what I need (added one line to first example): <http://www.globedomain.com/cgi-bin/perldiver/perldiver.cgi?action=2010&modu le=MIME%3A%3AParser> This does it -- the whole thing -- if I don't mind submitting one file per run (with a command script loop for all of them of course): #!/usr/bin/perl -w use MIME::Parser; my $parser = new MIME::Parser; # Create parser $parser->output_dir("./tmp"); # Give output dir $parser->extract_nested_messages(0); # Extract messages whole? $entity = $parser->parse(\*STDIN); # Parse an input filehandle print "Entity: $entity\n\n" if $entity; __END__ This method is so much cleaner than the others I have tried -- users can just email a whole batch of Spam (or Ham) messages to our Spam (or Ham) "Multi" account for automatic processing. No change to individual message headers -- easy to do once or twice a day for those who get a lot of spam. Thank you so much for your help -- sometimes it is encouraging just to have someone throwing back ideas and suggestions. -- Herb
