On a slightly related vein, I tried to do a workaround the following way:

my $parser = MIME::Parser->new();

$parser->ignore_errors(0);
$parser->decode_bodies(0);

for (my $i = 1; $i <= $msgs; ++$i, $parser->filer->purge) {
  my $lines = $pop->top($i, 0);


  my $msg = $parser->parse_data($lines);
  …
}

but it turns out that this blows out with:

error:    unexpected end of header

I'm guessing because we have a "Content-Type: … ; boundary=…" line, and we never see a closing boundary.

Would it be possible to add a flag that allows the parse_* methods to succeed in the absence of body text?

Thanks,
