how can i detect there's an attachment in emails? and it seems the attachment is encoded...can i get the original form of the attachment (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
actually its not difficult to figure out. u know that a mime compliant mail messege can have multiple body parts and every part consistes of two parts: header and body part. all u need to do is to look for "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="something.something" attribute. if it is there then it means the contents in the body is an attachment. for encoding u need to look for Content-Transfer-Encoding: **** like attribute.. normally we require quoted printable and base64 encoding and decoding modules and all these modules are available on the pscode. need more help? drop me an email.
