Heya,

The email module has a second function - 'message_from_string' - which
might be more useful here. Currently, you're passing to
'message_from_file' a string that it tries to treat as a file, hence
it complaining about the string object not having part of the file
object interface.

(I've never used email or poplib, so this is just a guess...)
