NAME

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

VERSION

       version 1.317

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.

ATTENTION!

       This module's behavior has never been very clearly spelled out, and it has led to misunderstandings and
       bug reports, which may or may not be actual bugs.  I plan to take some significant action to address
       this.  To read more or comment, please see
