note 36193 added to ref.imap

I need something to return the whole email as an .eml file. Perl can do this easily but why php force it to only allow me to retrieve the header and body separately? I need the whole thing (header + body) in one piece of string. Is there a way to do that? ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.imap.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+36193 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+36193&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+36193&report=yes
