Hai friends,  
I received an attachment file in a encoding format but i want  
to get it as s text file.And those file want to store it in a specified  
Folder.

require ‘rubygems’  
require ‘net/pop’  
require ‘tlsmail’  
require ‘net/smtp’

BASE\_DIR = “C:\Documents and Settings\mpf18.MPFD18\Desktop\attachment”  
username = ‘username’  
password = ‘password’

Net::POP3.enable\_ssl(OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY\_NONE)  
conn = Net::POP3.new(‘[pop.gmail.com](http://pop.gmail.com)’,Net::POP3.default\_pop3s\_port)  
conn.start(username, password)

conn.each\_mail do |msg|

# Print the ‘From:’ header line

#puts msg.header.split(“\r\n”).grep(/^From: /)  
filename=msg.header.split(“\r\n”).grep(/^From: /)  
puts filename

# File.open(File.join(“#{BASE\_DIR}/#{filename}”),

File::CREAT|File::TRUNC|File::WRONLY) do |f|  
# f.write(msg)

# Put message to $stdout (by calling \<\<)

Net::POP3.enable\_ssl(OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY\_NONE)  
Net::POP3.start(‘[pop.gmail.com](http://pop.gmail.com)’, 995, username, password) do |pop|  
if pop.mails.empty?  
puts ‘No mail.’  
else  
pop.each\_mail do |message|

end  
puts filename  
File.open(filename,‘wb’) {|f|f.write(m.body)}  
end  
end
