Here is a program that shows the contents of an mbox file. It shows
the subject of each message and the content-type and except from each
part of the message body. It works with both single and multipart
messages.
import mailbox
def showMbox(mboxPath):
box = mailbox.mbox(mboxPath)
for msg in box:
print msg['Subject']
showPayload(msg)
print
print '**********************************'
print
def showPayload(msg):
payload = msg.get_payload()
if msg.is_multipart():
div = ''
for subMsg in payload:
print div
showPayload(subMsg)
div = '------------------------------'
else:
print msg.get_content_type()
print payload[:200]
if __name__ == '__main__':
showMbox('/path/to/mbox'')
