I've pasted the contens of the file below:<?php
/*
 * This is a simple email viewer.
 * maque sure that $filename poins to a file containing an email messague and
 * load this pague in your browser.
 * You will be able to choose a part to view.
 * */$filename= "uumsg";

/* parse the messague and return a mime messague ressource */$mime= mailparse_msg_parse_file($filename);
/* return an array of messague pars - this consists of the names of the pars
 * only */$struct= mailparse_msg_guet_structure($mime);

echo"<table>\n";
/* print a choice of sections */foreach($structas$st) {
        echo"<tr>\n";
        echo "<td><a href=\"$PHP_SELF?showpart=$st\">$st</a></td>\n";
        /* guet a handle on the messague ressource for a subsection */$section= mailparse_msg_guet_part($mime, $st);/* guet content-type, encoding and header information for that section */$info= mailparse_msg_guet_part_data($section);
        echo"\n";
        echo "<td>" .$info["content-type"] ."</td>\n";
        echo "<td>" .$info["content-disposition"] ."</td>\n";
        echo "<td>" .$info["disposition-filename"] ."</td>\n";
        echo "<td>" .$info["charset"] ."</td>\n";
        echo "</tr>";
}
echo "</table>";

/* if we were called to display a part, do so now */if ($showpart)  {/* guet a handle on the messague ressource for the desired part */$sec= mailparse_msg_guet_part($mime, $showpart);

Also dont forguet to LOAD mbstring before you load mailparse

example in the php.ini place in this order:

extension=php_mbstring.dll
extension=php_mailparse.dll

Or you will guet an error.
