All I'm looking to do is to download messages from a POP account and
retrieve the sender and subject from their headers. Right now I'm 95%
of the way there, except I can't seem to figure out how to *just* get
the headers. Problem is, certain email clients also include headers
in the message body (i.e. if you're replying to a message), and these
are all picked up as additional senders/subjects. So, I want to avoid
processing anything from the message body.
Here's a sample of what I have:
# For each line in message
for j in M.retr(i+1)[1]:
# Create email message object from returned string
emailMessage = email.message_from_string(j)
# Get fields
fields = emailMessage.keys()
# If email contains "From" field
if emailMessage.has_key("From"):
# Get contents of From field
from_field = emailMessage.__getitem__("From")
I also tried using the following, but got the same results:
emailMessage =
email.Parser.HeaderParser().parsestr(j, headersonly=True)
Any help would be appreciated!
