php imap echoing weird headers..how can I fix this?

Here is my PHP Code for grabbing gmail emails and echoing them to a webpage:

<?php


                            /* connect to gmail */
$hostname = '{imap.gmail.com:993/imap/ssl}INBOX';
$username = '[email protected]';
$password = 'password';

/* try to connect */
$inbox = imap_open($hostname,$username,$password) or die('Cannot connect to Gmail: ' . imap_last_error());
/* grab emails */
$emails = imap_search($inbox,'ALL');
/* if emails are returned, cycle through each... */
if($emails) {

 /* begin output var */
 $output = '';

 /* put the newest emails on top */
  rsort($emails);

  /* for every email... */
  foreach($emails as $email_number) {

  /* get information specific to this email */
    $overview = imap_fetch_overview($inbox, $email_number, 0);
    $message = imap_fetchbody($inbox, $email_number, 1);



    $DateFormatted = str_replace("-0500", "", $overview[0] -> date);



    /* output the email header information */
    $output .=  $overview[0] -> subject ;
    $output .=  $DateFormatted ;




    //$bodyFormatted = preg_replace("/This e-mail(.*)/","",$message);
 //$bodyFormatted = preg_replace("/Ce courriel(.*)/","",$bodyFormatted);
    /* output the email body */
    $output .=  $message;


                          }

echo $output;
                        }

                        /* close the connection */
imap_close($inbox);

                                ?>

The problem I am having is that I keep getting weird headers blurted out along with the message body and I dont know why. I cant use str replace or Regex because the numerical part of the headers is generated different each time so I really need a reliable way of doing this. I am out of ideas and I need help. Also getting some random "=" signs

What you are seeing are not headers, as such, they are MIME boundaries for a multipart message. Your message contains the same data in two formats - HTML and plain text. This is very common for email bodies, you will need access to the Content-Type: header of the email to parse it correctly. Read this.

This may help you parse it and deal with it correctly, as may this.
