I need to write a program the extracts the ASCII text portion of email messages for insertion into a database. I looked at the libmailtools-perl package, but it doesn't look like it can deal with the annoying variety of mail that I may need to parse (The silly +'s at the end of lines, MIME-attached HTML, vcards, etc.). What I want is a filter that I pass an email in, and out pops the ASCII, 72-line width formatted message. All attachments, HTML mail, vcards and strangeness is removed. Does such a thing exist?
