You might want to give Python 2.2's email package[*] a try.  It is
specifically designed to do all the things you'd want to do to and on
an email message, including parse a text file into an object model,
etc.

[*] Or for older Python's look at the distutils-able mimelib/email
package at:

    http://sourceforge.net/projects/mimelib/

The version in CVS has some much better support for multibyte
character sets.
