Method Details

[hide private]

init(self, f, n, fp=None)
(Constructor)

Constructor.

Overrides: rfc822.Message.__init__

getheadertext(self, pred=None)

Return the message's header text as a string. If an argument is specified, it is used as a filter predicate to decide which headers to return (its argument is the header name converted to lower case).

getbodytext(self, decode=1)

Return the message's body text as string. This undoes a Content-Transfer-Encoding, but does not interpret other MIME features (e.g. multipart messages). To suppress decoding, pass 0 as an argument.

getbodyparts(self)

Only for multipart messages: return the message's body as a list of SubMessage objects. Each submessage object behaves (almost) as a Message object.
