Retrieve Email Attachments

[Fazer]

Hello,

I need to access a POP or mayb IMAP based email account and extract
attachments (probably images) from the email messages. How can this
be done with the current two module libraries?

Thanks for any insight.

Use poplib or imaplib to get a message as a string.

Then use the email module (new in 2.2) to parse this string into an
instance of email.Messsage using

Use the methods of the resulting email.Message instance to get the
contents of the email.
