I would imagine Guido is talking about an io.TextIOWrapper...in other words, take the binary file you've just finished grabbing info from, and reread it as a text file in order to grab the actual message content. If you have messages in your files that are using an 8bit content transfer encoding, then you (currently) will have some problems unless the charset happens to be the one you use when you wrap the binary stream as a text stream. -- R.
