The following code should read the mail in my inbox, add it to a mysql database, and then delete it. However, I do not have the MHonArc module installed to run it. That module is used to strip html code(from what I read). All of the emails I get at the address I want to log will be undeliverable email messages telling me an email doesnt exist, so I dont really think I need the thing to strip the html, all I really need to find is the false email address. How can I modify the code below so it doesnt need MHonArc. Thanks (also, I dont know perl well, at all, just thought I would mention this)
