Rails - Feb 2006 - Accessing just the body of email in text format?

I am interested in accessing the body of the email in text format using IMAP to
receive emails.
  
  So far I have tried the following
  
      #body = imap.fetch(message_id, "BODY[TEXT]")
      #body = imap.fetch(message_id,
["BODY[]"])[0].attr[''BODY[]'']
  
  
  But both of the above give me body text + the headers including Content-Type
etc. How can I access just the body in text format.
  
  I appreciate your assistance.
  
  
  Thanks
  Frank

I have gotten to the part where I can access the body of the email with
  
  # email.body
  
  after passing it to my receiver function using
  
  body = imap.fetch(message_id,
["BODY[]"])[0].attr[''BODY[]'']
  
  The problem now is that I get both a text version of the email as well as the
HTML version of the email.
  
  How can I just get the text version of the email.
  
  Thanks

Experts, I appreciate any pointers you can provide on how I can  access/split
the message in text form and/or  extract the text  only version from text and
html?
  
  Currently I am able to get to this part:

  <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &quot;Times New 
Roman&quot;;">This is my first blog post via email and I am  happy
about it.<br>    </span><p>
                   <hr size=1> Yahoo! Mail<br>
  <a

  As you can see the HTML post follows the text post in the same message. How
can I leave the duplicate HTML copy out?
  
  
  Many Thanks for your assistance
