Download Mail Via Python

[Adriaan Renting]

You could maybe give some more information about what you're doing, like if you use POP or IMAP, the kind of mail server used, etc. I know the at least Outpook used some odd MS specific formatting when sending stuff trough Exchange (non-HTML/RTF/plain text) for the body. This is the "Rich text" setting, which does not produce RTF, but TNEF. When using Word as the e-mail editor you also get funky stuff.

 I am busy writing a little prog to download mail and put the contents of the emails into a database. The problem that I am currently facing is that I can view the message body only if it was sent with a mail client other than MS outlook or outlook express. What am I missing, any reading material I can have a look at? Examples perhaps?   
     
 Thanks in advance.
