:I have a script to which e-mail to a certain address is relayed.

:I use

:rfc822.Message(sys.stdin)

:to read the e-mail, but I can't figure out how to access the body.
:It seems that rfc822 only have methods to access the headers. ????
:Any help will be appreciated.


#! /usr/bin/env python

import rfc822, sys, os

inheaders=rfc822.Message(sys.stdin, 0)

for h in inheaders.headers:
	print h,

print 
for line in sys.stdin.readlines():
	print line,
print
print
print "This message was passed through a Python script"
print "passmailthrough.py"
