[Email-SIG] OffTopic (email lib) : attachments in a forwarded email

[PYTHON at telefonica.net]

Hi all,

Firts of all sorry for this off-topic post (I didn´t know where can I 
post it). I have a problem when I try to get the attachments of a 
forwarded email; I can only get the attach file that contains the "real 
attached files I want", not those files

# here is my code:

import pop3lib
impor email.Parser

a = poplib.POP3("pop3.telefonica.net")
a.user(userpop3)
a.pass_(passpop3)
try:
     (numMsgs, totalSize) = a.stat()
     if numMsgs == 0:
          print "Sorry - there are no messages in the mailbox"
     else:
          for thisNum in range(1, numMsgs + 1): 
               (server_msg, body, octets) = a.retr(thisNum)
               # "cuerpo" now is a string        
               cuerpo=StringIO.StringIO(string.join(body,'\n'))
    
               p = email.Parser.Parser()
               msg  = p.parse(cuerpo)
               os.chdir(dir_out)

               for part in msg.walk():
                    name= part.get_param("name")
                    if name != None:
                         f = open(dir_out + "\\" + name, "wb")
                         f.write(part.get_payload(decode=1))
                         f.close
                    print "Name of the attachment: ", name

a.quit()

#thanks
