    Well..you cannot get the body alone from a POP server...and i cannot agree the header and footer as junk.

    You can parse the text and get the body alone..you can do this by first extracting the text between the boundaries..

    Nagapattinam,37.0;


    ------=_NextPart_000_0001_01C57024.B0B606A0

    and then you can easily get the body(for plain text)

    Thanks for your reply,

    Let me explain...
    I have developed any application where it connect to the POP3 Server and gets the List of emails from inbox.

    When i retrive the one email from inbox, it give all Header footer and other parts of the email, which is junk for me.

    I required only Body of the Message.

    Example:
    Return-Path: <anil@genevasoftech.com>

    Here email is in HTML format.

    Body of the message is hardly 5 to 7 lines which is in Blue Back Ground.

    So, how to get body of the message only, I am using Vb .Net 2002.

    Thanks

    Hi suresh,

    Thanks for reply.

    As you said that we can extract the mail using Boundries. But mail format which other mail server are using is very different.

    for example.
    Hotmail:
    Return-Path: <    tumbalam@hotmail.com>
