I have an email message in a file (see attached).
Attachments don't work here.
something like this should construct an email message from the file:
from email.message import EmailMessage
msg = EmailMessage()
fp = open("/home/skip/tmp/79487694")
msg.set_content(fp.read())
What are you actually trying to do? You're talking like you're trying
to read an existing RFC822 email-with-headers from a file, but you're
showing code that creates a new email with body content set from
a file, which is a completely different thing.
Also, RFC822 messages tend not to be Unicode themselves, _or_ ISO8859-1. Email
message file tend to be 7-bit ASCII, with a (small, well defined) variety of
methods for passing other text encodings though that form.
When I read a mail message from a file I do it like this:
msg = email.parser.Parser().parse(msgfile, headersonly=headersonly)
where `msgfile` is an open file (just "open(pathname, errors='replace')"). That
returns a Message object.
