a python script which will parse an email message

[Chuck Amadi]

Hi Skip and all .

I have downloaded the module (mboxutils.py) from Spambayes project's mboxutils
module:

Thus created my script mailbox.py

Had a look at especially the getmbox() function.
And tried to use as So .

#!/usr/bin/env python


#Import statement used to import external modules
import mboxutils
#Existing file a Unix-style mailbox
for msg in mboxutils.getmbox("/var/spool/mail/chucka"):
print msg['subject']
print msg['body']


I need just the Subject and Body of the all mail messages in the above Mail
folder
Runs but no output So I know its' done something as when I use another user
mailbox
it produces an error permission denied . So basically how do I see the output
result and thus I can process it to One File.

Im digesting the mboxutils.py but I assume that as an external module I just
load it using the import statement as above

Cheers

Chuck

Assuming it's not homework,
formail -X From: -X Subject: -s < /var/spool/mail/chucka
