Read line in procmail by using formail

Hi there.
Does anyone know how to extract body of email by using formail in Procmail?the only thing that i can work on right now is this command in my procmail recipe:

Code:

:0fwb

| formail -I "" >> path/to/my/file.txt

but this command will also read the bogus "Content-type" such as this one :

Code:

--20cf3079bcb6f4074904c1a181f1

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1



this is the content of email



--20cf3079bcb6f4074904c1a181f1

Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1

Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable



this is the content of email

--20cf3079bcb6f4074904c1a181f1--

I only want the content file.
Can somebody help me?thanks

Why not use Multipart MIME Content-.* headers like they should be used and pipe the message through OpenSSL in base64 mode, mmencode, mimencode, metamail, mimeexplode or ripmime to get the actual attachments?

Thanks.

It's the same kind of pipe recipe as you've used already. The switches you need, "-i -" and "-d /path/to/extraction_directory" minimally, are documented at the ripMIME site: http://www.pldaniels.com/ripmime/.
