Hi thanks, I really don't mean for you to go to any effort on my part, though I suspect you also have this as a hobby project and like developing it! I think for my work this project simply has too many dependencies, and I'll probably end up rolling something of my own using this? https://docs.python.org/2/library/mailbox.html It's interesting stuff, and I've enjoyed the chat, and learned a fair bit also!
