I'd keep working on that loop a bit in
well, here is a piece of final script :
#!/usr/bin/python
#
import sys
b=[]
while 1:
data = sys.stdin.readline()
if data != '\n':
b.append(data)
else:
break
for i in (0,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16):
b[i]=b[i].split(':')[1].strip()
#print b[i]
b[1]=b[1].split(':')
b[1]=b[1][1]

It's how procmail works. Presuming you looked up how to write
a procmail rule to save the body of your mail into a file, you
should also see right next to it the instructions for piping
the message to a program. (It

This is collecting mail as it comes in? If you have a mail

good morning everybody !
I have scripted a small program to parse a 5 lines email message as it comes
