Hi all, First off thanks for creating PEAR. It is a top quality resource for PHP developers. However, I have found what I believe to be something very confusing (wrong) in the documentation of the Mail_mimeDecode PEAR class. To dive straight into an example: The documentation leads me to believe that to access, for example, the filename of the second part of a multipart email I would access the array member: $result['parts'][1]['d_parameters']['filename'] after on the result of the static decode() member. However, after some head scratching and examination of the print_r output for $result, it turned out that it was an object containing arrays, not actually an array itself, which is what the docs state: array decode (array $args) It also turned out that each of the individual multipart parts are also objects, which lead ultimately to the correct way of accessing the filename: $result->parts[1]->d_parameters['filename'] which is a far cry from the documented behavior! Can you please update the docs to reflect the real state of play as I am sure some less persistent users may not realise and give up. Otherwise thanks and keep up the great work! Louis Aslett
