Hi

Use Net::IMAP.fetch (
http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/net/imap/rdoc/classes/Net/IMAP.html#M001284
) and using something like 'BODY[TEXT]' as the attributes argument to
fetch.
For example:

body = imap.fetch(msg.seqno, 'BODY[TEXT]')

Sometimes I use TMail ( http://tmail.rubyforge.org/ ) to parse the
mail after getting it.
