Problem extracting emails attachments

Hi I have problems extracting binary attachments from yahoo accounts. It seems like the attached file is treated as inline message of the mail. If I try to download that mail and then parse it and try to extract the message the file is not extracted anyway. If you need more information or you need me to send you the file from the yahoo account let me know. ThanksLorenzo

I add that I am sending from a yahoo account to my mail server account. As this service that am setting has to work from all types of accounts I would also be able to extract attachment coming from yahoo accounts.L

I found a solution with an external tool that can decode MIME messages and extract the attachments in different encoded formats.See http://www.fpx.de/fp/Software/UUDeview/ if you need. It is a GPL dos application.What I do is I extract with uudeview the files of the email within a dos batch.
