I have the following script: emails = [] for msg in messagesInfo: msgNum = int(msg.split()[0]) msgSize = int(msg.split()[1]) if(msgSize < 20000): message = server.retr(msgNum)[1] Message = join(message, ā\nā) emails.append(message)
It downloads messages for me via my POP3 server, however, the message format (attached below) includes ridiculous amounts of data and I just want to return the from, subject, and body. Any pointers on how to do this? /// sample message downloaded fe5.bluebottle.com (fe5 [209.144.225.81])', '\t by bluebottle-be1.bluebottle.com (Cyrus v2.2.8) with LMTPA;', '\t Tue, 21 Mar 2006 23:47:22 -0600', 'X-Sieve: CMU Sieve 2.2', 'Received: from fe7.bluebottle.com (fe7 [209.144.225.70])', '\tby fe5.bluebottle.com (8.13.4/8.13.4) with ESMTP id k2M5hhkd023264', '\tfor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Tue, 21 Mar 2006 23:44:35 -0600', 'Received: from smtp-relay.wharton.upenn.edu (smtp-relay.wharton.upenn.edu [130.91.161.218])', '\tby fe7.bluebottle.com (8.13.4/8.13.4) with ESMTP id k2M5hea4022775', '\t(version=TLSv1/SSLv3 cipher=DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA bits=256 verify=NO)', '\tfor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Tue, 21 Mar 2006 23:43:41 -0600', 'Received: from FAIRMOUNT.wharton.upenn.edu (fairmount2.wharton.Upenn.Edu [128.91.87.58])', '\tby smtp-relay.wharton.upenn.edu (8.13.1/8.13.1) with ESMTP id k2M5heQv007094', '\tfor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Wed, 22 Mar 2006 00:43:40 -0500', 'X-DomainKeys: Sendmail DomainKeys Filter v0.3.2 smtp-relay.wharton.upenn.edu k2M5heQv007094', 'DomainKey-Signature: a=rsa-sha1; s=smtp-relay; d=wharton.upenn.edu; c=nofws; q=dns;', '\tb=TZ7xn8PLJNMsq8iCl7eqlME0EDnCC7fKUvpKmALqe1FQ5gG/fG+V/bomQMKyblplJ', '\tlg6wTqPoeao6lkM4yu+Rw==', 'Received: from webmail1.wharton.upenn.edu ([172.16.32.58]) by FAIRMOUNT.wharton.upenn.edu with Microsoft SMTPSVC(6.0.3790.1830);', '\t Wed, 22 Mar 2006 00:43:39 -0500', 'Received: from [165.123.150.168] ([165.123.150.168]) by webmail1.wharton.upenn.edu over TLS secured channel with Microsoft SMTPSVC(6.0.3790.1830);', '\t Wed, 22 Mar 2006 00:43:39 -0500', 'User-Agent: Microsoft-Entourage/11.0.0.040405', 'Date: Wed, 22 Mar 2006 00:43:37 -0500', 'Subject: KNOCKITY-----KNOCK-----WHOS-----THERE', 'From: Kevin Feng <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>', 'To: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>', 'Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>', 'Mime-version: 1.0', 'Content-type: text/plain;', '\tcharset="US-ASCII"', 'Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit', 'X-OriginalArrivalTime: 22 Mar 2006 05:43:39.0441 (UTC) FILETIME=[921A4210:01C64D73]', 'X-Virus-Scanned: ClamAV version 0.88, clamav-milter version 0.87 on fe7.bluebottle.com', 'X-Virus-Status: Clean', 'Trusted-Delivery-Validation-State: Not validated', '', 'ANITA-----ANITA WHO----ANITA BETTER JOKE', '', ''], 2266) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
