Well if they don't have MIME::Parser then they won't be able to use this
script ;)

How will it mess things up by extracting all message/rfc822 parts?

Try running it on a sample message and then diffing the output with the
message.  It should only remove the headers and contents of the original
message (well and any non message/rfc822 parts but not any
non-message/rfc822 parts from the messages it splits out IYSWIM).
