Hi nephish,
I clearly remember it is very very simple and it is defined in the RFC.
As far as I remember, the end of the headers are signalled by an empty line.
Try looking for '\n\n', this should do the trick. I've saved a couple of
emails and it looks like this should work.
See http://docs.python.org/lib/module-email.html for easy ways to
handle e-mail. The email module has utilities that make it easy
to handle headers and body.
something like:
#full_text holds the full text of the message
bodypos = full_text.find('\n\n') + 2
body = full_text[bodypos:]
#body now holds the message body
Please let us know if this works, hope it helps.

Does anyone know how to strip everything off of an email?
i have a little app that i am working on to read an email message and
write the
body of a message to a log file.
each email this address gets is only about three to five lines long.
but i cannot seem to get just the body filtered through.
i get all the headers, the path, what spam-wall it went through, etc...
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated .
thanks
