    Hi!

    I'm trying to do the following:

    -Extract an Email from a mailbox using grepmail
    -Bounce this Email to a different address

    I thought that this would be an easy thing to do, but I still haven't manage
    to do it the way I want to.

    The problem is MIME encoded messages.
    I've tried several approches, but I always get the same result: the Email
    Content-type is always text/plain after I've sent it.
    It seems like some of the header is stripped off.

    Here is my code:

    ##########################################
    ...
    use MIME::Parser;
    use MIME::Entity;
    use MIME::Head;

    my $sCmd = "grepmail -iu -Y \'(\^From:)\' $sMyAddress $sPathToMailbox;
    my @EmailLines = `$sCmd`;

    my $oParser = new MIME::Parser;
    my $oEmail = $oParser->parse_data(\@EmailLines);
    $oEmail->head->replace("To", $sBounceAddress);

    my $sRes = $oEmail->smtpsend;
    ...
    ##########################################

    Does anyone have a suggestion on how I can forward the mail without
    stripping the header?

    Thanx in advance!
