Im completely confinvalided from email library. When you parse email from
file it creates object Message.
f = open(emailFile, 'r')
msg = email.message_from_file(f)
f.close()
How can I access RAW header of email represented by object msg? I dont
wanna access each header field by hand.
Im doing another parsing, searching for attachments and so on, with
email, but i need write raw data of email too. Do I have to allocate
another memory for that emailFile? (by mmap or f=open(rawemail).
For the ultimate in raw, open the email file and parse it manually.
Your other option is use msg.walk() and msg.items() and walk through the
returned (header, value) pairs.

--> import email
--> msg = email.message_from_file(open(r'c:\temp2\latest_dbf.eml'))
--> from pprint import pprint as pp
--> for sub in msg.walk():
... pp(sub.items())
