Hi,
I need to fetch mail body from the local stored mailbox file.
I'm using fetchmail and procmail to download emails from IMAP server and filterout unwanted one.
From the list of emails, I want to process one by one and get their body and store it.
the format of mailbox file would be something like this

In bash script I want to parse this file, first divide them in single email and then get their body and store it in saperate file.
I'm not that great in bash scripting as I am a C/C++ guy.
Can anyone help me please?
