/*****************Mime data end *******************************/
now the problem is i have to parse this data and use it in my application.since this data is not a xml so it difficult to parse it (because parsing with some tag is easy).so any one who knows how to parse mime data help be.i m using erlang to parse this data.
Thank you in advance
