Accessing just the body of email in text format?

Rails
1

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:

This is my first blog post via email and I am happy about it.

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
