mailbox multipart
in [Python]
|
From: janwillem on 13 Apr 2010 17:54 I am trying to analyze mailboxes using an iterator: for key, message in mbox.iteritems(): When message is a simple mail message['date'] results the date. When, however, it is a multipart message this results in None. How can you full proof get the "date", "from" and "to" of of a multipart mail using python? Thanks janwillem

The mailbox iterator should return the outer multipart container, which has the headers. -- Tim Roberts, timr(a)probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc.

Thanks Tim, There you have a point, after I find it is a multipart message I dive into it recursively and so loose the outer header info. That was all.
