Ok, now the "tested" version (has been corrected) :
#!/usr/bin/env python
import time
import smtplib
import email
import ConfigParser
import logging
class Mensaje(object) :
def __init__(self) :
cfg = ConfigParser.ConfigParser()
try :
cfg.readfp(open('config.cfg'))

The procesar function is complicated. It tries to do several things
that that are better done elsewhere. It needs to be broken up into
several functions and methods. This also clarifies and isolates the
