Actually, you can easily write such a procedure. There is a tool called extproc_perl , described at: http://www.smashing.org/extproc_perl which, essentially, allows you to execute perl scripts as database procedures. All you need to do is to install MIME::Base64 and MIME::Lite and use those packages. In version 2.0 DYNALOADER works, so you can use packages that have shared libraries, as long as they're properly installed. For the curious ones, the function to decode MIME encoded email is decode_base64. You may not win the sweepstakes, but you can store your spam into the database, for later enjoyment.
