Hello everyone,
Is anyone familiar with a simple way to parse mbox emails in Python?
>>> import mailbox
>>> help(mailbox)
Help on module mailbox:
NAME
mailbox - Read/write support for Maildir, mbox, MH, Babyl, and MMDF
mailboxes.
Emile
I
use Mail::MBoxParser in perl and it provides a simple way to grab the
bodies from the emails. In my research online, people have suggested
searching for lines starting with "From ", but this doesn't seem
reliable to me. I am using the built in mailbox module and am able to do
something like:
import mailbox
for message in mbox:
print message['subject']
It would be great if you could do something like the following:
print messages['body']
Any thoughts are appreciated.
Thanks, Ryan
