[Tutor] strip an email

[Hugo González Monteverde]

Hi nephish,

I clearly remember it is very very simple and it is defined in the RFC. 
As far as I remember, the end of the headers are signalled by an empty line.

Try looking for '\n\n', this should do the trick. I've saved a couple of 
emails and it looks like this should work.

something like:

#full_text holds the full text of the message

bodypos = full_text.find('\n\n') + 2

body = full_text[bodypos:]

#body now holds the message body

Please let us know if this works, hope it helps.
