Hi, https://docs.python.org/3.7/library/email.header.html states:
| This module is part of the legacy (Compat32) email API. In the current | API encoding and decoding of headers is handled transparently by the | dictionary-like API of the EmailMessage class. I understood this to mean that an EmailMessage does decode RFC 2047 encoded header fields automatically. However this does not seem to be the case: portia:~/tmp 13:06 :-) 16% python3 Python 3.7.2+ (default, Feb 27 2019, 15:41:59) [GCC 8.2.0] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import email.parser >>> import email.message >>> p = email.parser.Parser(email.message.EmailMessage) >>> f = open("test.msg", "r") >>> m = p.parse(f) >>> m <email.message.EmailMessage object at 0x7f3b5cac4278> >>> m["Subject"] '[luga] =?utf-8?Q?=C3=84ndern_des_Passwortes_mittels_We?=\n\t=?utf-8?Q?bformular?=' >>> m["From"] 'Martin =?iso-8859-15?Q?W=FCrtele?= <mar...@xxxxxxxx.xxx>' >>> Am I using it wrong or did I misunderstand what is meant by "handled transparently by the dictionary-like API of the EmailMessage class"? If the latter, what does it mean? hp -- _ | Peter J.
