Save it as an eml file. Use the standard email.Parser module for 
extracting headers.

Well, I can send you some examples that show how to download and parse 
emails from imap server. I have never used nntp before so....
Some examples are attached, and also a code fragment:

IMAPDate.py - to convert between IMAP and datetime.date
imaputils.py - to show how to connect to IMAP server and list folders on 
it (you need to create your own local.py file...), also shows how to 
append a new message to a folder on the imap server.
code_fragment.py - to show how to search for messages on the server and 
download them as pure data string, it is NOT a complete program!

And finally, here is how you parse and email:

    import email.Parser
    email_data = file('test2.eml','rb').read()
    parser = email.Parser.Parser()

Then you need to example "parser" and its methods.

Anyway, it is your homework, I don't think that I'm going to give more 
help unless you have a specific question. :-)

Best,

    Laszlo
