Some might not have one, but Kmail should had fixed. The second will be the way to get the whole email from the mbox file. My problem still remain, partially. I'm not sure if the below procedure will give me the emails off including multipart ones. 8<-------------8<-------------8<-------------8<-------------8<------------- #! /usr/bin/env python from __future__ import generators import email, re import mailbox import email.Message def getmbox(name): """Return an mbox iterator given a file/directory/folder name.""" fp = open(name, "rb") mbox = mailbox.PortableUnixMailbox(fp, get_message) return iter(mbox) def get_message(obj): """Return an email Message object.""" if isinstance(obj, email.Message.Message): return obj # Create an email Message object. if hasattr(obj, "read"): obj = obj.read() try: msg = email.message_from_string(obj) except email.Errors.MessageParseError: obj = obj[len(headers):] msg = email.Message.Message() return msg header_break_re = re.compile(r"\r?\n(\r?\n)") def extract_headers(text): """Very simple-minded header extraction""" m = header_break_re.search(text) if m: eol = m.start(1) text = text[:eol] if ':' not in text: text = "" return text if __name__ == '__main__': #simple trial with local mbox file import sys try: file =sys.argv[1] except IOError: print 'Must give a mbox file program /path/to_mbox' sys.exit() k = getmbox(file) while 1: full_email = get_message(k.next()) print '%78s' %full_email answer= raw_input('More?
