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!
If you're using poplib then use ".top" instead of ".retr". -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
