I have been doing this to turn the email into a string
email =ys.argv[1]
f =open(email, 'r')
s =str(f.readlines())
so FTPHOST isn't the first element, it is just part of a larger
string. When I turn the email into a string it looks like...
'FINISHED: 09/07/2009 08:42:31\r\n', '\r\n', 'MEDIATYPE: FtpPull\r\n',
'MEDIAFORMAT: FILEFORMAT\r\n', 'FTPHOST: e4ftl01u.ecs.nasa.gov\r\n',
'FTPDIR: /PullDir/0301872638CySfQB\r\n', 'Ftp Pull Download Links: \r
\n', 'ftp://e4ftl01u.ecs.nasa.gov/PullDir/0301872638CySfQB\r\n', 'Down

The mistake I see is trying to turn a list into a string, just so you
can try to parse it back again. Just write a loop that iterates through
the list that readlines() returns.
