NAME

Email::MIME::Attachment::Stripper - strip the attachments from an email

VERSION

version 1.316

SYNOPSIS

         my $stripper = Email::MIME::Attachment::Stripper->new($mail);
 
         my $msg = $stripper->message;
         my @attachments = $stripper->attachments;
 
 

DESCRIPTION

Given a Email::MIME object, detach all attachments from the message and make them available separately.

The message you're left with might still be multipart, but it should only be multipart/alternative or multipart/related.

Given this message:

   + multipart/mixed
     - text/plain
     - application/pdf; disposition=attachment
 
 

The PDF will be stripped. Whether the returned message is a single text/plain part or a multipart/mixed message with only the text/plain part remaining in it is not yet guaranteed one way or the other.

METHODS

new

         my $stripper = Email::MIME::Attachment::Stripper->new($email, %args);
 
 

The constructor may be passed an Email::MIME object, a reference to a string, or any other value that Email::Abstract (if available) can cast to an Email::MIME object.

Valid arguments include:

   force_filename - try harder to get a filename, making one up if necessary
 
 

message

         my $email_mime = $stripper->message;
 
 

This returns the message with all the attachments detached. This will alter both the body and the header of the message.

attachments

         my @attachments = $stripper->attachments;
 
 

This returns a list of all the attachments we found in the message, as a hash of { filename, content_type, payload }.

This may contain parts that might not normally be considered attachments, like text/html or multipart/alternative.
