Recieving Attachments in email	Can't Post

I have built a simple webmail script that can
send attachments, and recieve messages
but can't recieve attachments. There is a subroutine in a program called AtDot
(www.atdot.org) but it's rathing tangled
with additional stuff that was made for
that program. I have MIME Tools installed
but I don't know to use it to read attachments :-). Below is the subroutine
for AtDot's read message.
============================
#!/bin/perl

use strict;
use vars qw(%conf %lang %cgi $dbh);
use CGI;
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
use POSIX;

sub read_message
{
my $mess = shift;
my $attachment = shift if ($webmail::cgi{A} eq 'VIEW');

$mess =~ s/</&lt\;/g;
$mess =~ s/>/&gt\;/g;
foreach (qw(http ftp nntp news gopher telnet))
{
$mess =~ s/($_:[\d|\w|\/|\.|\-|?|&|=|~]*[\d|\w|\/])([\b|\n| ]*)/<A HREF=\"$1\">$1<\/A>$2/gs;
}
$mess =~ s/(\w[\w|\d|\.|\-|\+]*\@[\w|\d|\.|\-]*)([\b|\n| ])/<A HREF=\"$webmail::conf{url}?S=$webmail::cgi{S}&A=COMPOSE&TO=$1\">$1<\/A>$2/gs;
$mess =~ s/(&lt\ Wink

(\w[\w|\d|\.|\-|\+]*\@[\w|\d|\.|\-]*)(&gt\ Wink

/$1<A HREF=\"$webmail::conf{url}?S=$webmail::cgi{S}&A=COMPOSE&TO=$2\">$2<\/A>$3/gs;

my ($header, $body) = split(/\n\n/, $mess, 2);
my @attachments = ();
my $from = &webmail::header ('FROM', $mess);
my $subject = &webmail::header ('SUBJECT', $mess);
my $date = &webmail::header ('DATE', $mess);
my $to = &webmail::header ('TO', $mess);

$bound =~ s/.*boundary="(.*)".*/$1/igs;
