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.

Re: email library, get_payload() bug?

 Helllo,

 I want to get the raw format of email body. the code Im using is

         for part in email.walk():
                 if part.get_content_maintype() == 'multipart':
                         continue
                 if part.get_content_type() == 'text/plain':
 #                       print part.get_content_type()
                         print part.get_payload(None,True)

 The problem is, that code adds one more '\n' at the and of the output
 printed by get_payload(). Is that bug?

 Thanks.

 Best,
 Peter

No sure to undeerstand, but print add one '\n' by itself
maybe using

print part.get_payload(None,True),

with a , at the end to tell print not to add a \n

hope this help
