The closest thing to a standard method would I think be a custom
handler. See
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.067.htp>.

As far as the actual manipulation, you'd need to use the message
methods get_payload() and set_payload(). See
<http://docs.python.org/lib/module-email.html>.
