Tmail talk - Sep 2008 - where to start with this parse request

I''m resending this because I don''t see it showing up on the
list and
also including a link to the actual email I''m trying to parse.

The email is here: http://pastie.org/265259

I also posed my issue to the ruby-forum list and was direct back to  
this list.   http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/164757

I really am not sure what I am doing wrong.  Is it because the body of  
the email does not start with ''body'' like when extracting the
''from''
for example.

thanks for any help with this.

This also returns Nil

Here is the code I am using and below are the results:

require ''rubygems''
require ''tmail''

email = TMail::Mail.load( ''emailhtml.eml'' )

puts email.to_s # returns entire email
puts email[''body''] # comes back nil
puts email[''from'']
puts email[''Delivered-To'']
puts email[''subject'']
puts email[''date'']
puts email[''X-Originalarrivaltime'']

Results (excluding entire email)
nil

Hi George,

I''m not quite sure what your question is here.

email.body returns the body

email[''to''] is Nil because there''s no ''To:
'' header

email[''delivered-to''].to_s might help (ah, but I see you
already know
that).

Cheers,

Peter

Peter,

Okay, now I feel pretty silly because yes email.body works perfectly.   
I''m still not sure why email[''body''] doesn''t
though.

I am very new to ruby and programming in general, so I apologize my  
lack of knowledge on this.

Now I can keep moving forward.

Thanks so much,

The hash methods of TMail::Mail object only work for the headers.  Try
	email.keys

At least you had the guts to ask.
