(ie. > is_multipart = True , Content-Type = multipart/mixed etc.) Is this an actual message fragment? Can't be, or else it's broken. Headers are separated from message body by one blank line. At least there should be a blank line before "This message is in MIME...". And are actually all those xxx_NextPart_xxx lines one after the other? > Could anybody tell me if the above message header breaks the conventions > for > email messages or is it just some that is not handled correctly by the > email > module. Could you post, or better leave available somewhere, a complete message (as originally exported by Outlook, before any processing)? -- Gabriel Genellina -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
