because i can help. you don't need regex to do it. if you just want the
body, find the first occurance of \r\n\r\n. where that occurs, use substr
and you have it...that doesn't take into account that the message itself may
be part of a multi-mimed format - one that gives both a text version and the
other, html.
does that get you going?
