Then get filename using the get_filename method. This will help you decide what to do with the attachment and how to save it (see [1] for help on email library). Then use base64 library to decode the attachment (see [2]) [1] http://docs.python.org/lib/module-email.html [2] http://www.python.org/doc/2.3/lib/module-base64.html
