If you want to keep using Perl, installing MIME::Parse from CPAN might help you out, if I'm correctly reading what you want. In particular, are you talking about the long lines of =========(etc) that appear to separate the messages (don't know if that's something Listserv-y or some mailbox format I haven't heard of), or about the occasional "=" at the end of a line (which is part of what quoted-printable encoding does and is something email clients do, rather than Listserv)? > Any help you could provide would be great. -- Jim Toth [log in to unmask] Using "I'm sick and mildly fevered" as my official excuse if the above doesn't make sense.
