Which module are you using? Have you tried reading its documentation? My guess is that you are using MIME::Parser and for your particular case, the first part has no body because it's a multipart. Have you tried checking the MIME type of your entity? See MIME::Entity#bodyhandle. #11929 First ask yourself `How would I do this without a computer?' Then have the computer do it the same way.

Where the body is depends on how the message is composed. Can you post a small but complete example of a message you are having trouble parsing? Read more... (4 kB)	[reply]

I red somewhere that all mime entities consisted of a (mime::)head and a (mime::)body, but apparently its not(entirely) true. I'll try some more on my own. Thank you.	[reply]

You can read all about it in RFC2045 and related RFCs. Each part of a multipart message has both headers and body.	[reply]
