Its not getting the image,

My code.......

def GetPropFromStream(mapi_object,prop_id):
        try:
            stream = mapi_object.OpenProperty(prop_id,
                                              pythoncom.IID_IStream,
                                              0, 0)
            chunks = []
            while 1:
                chunk = stream.Read(4096)
                if not chunk:
                    break
                chunks.append(chunk)
            return "".join(chunks)
    except pythoncom.com_error, d:
            print "Error getting property", mapiutil.GetPropTagName(prop_id),
\
                  "from stream:", d
            return ""


def GetPotentiallyLargeStringProp(mapi_object,prop_id,row):
       got_tag,got_val = row
       if PROP_TYPE(got_tag) == PT_ERROR:
            ret = ""
            if got_val == mapi.MAPI_E_NOT_FOUND:
                pass # No property for this message.
            elif got_val == mapi.MAPI_E_NOT_ENOUGH_MEMORY:
                  # Too big for simple properties - get via a stream
                   ret =GetPropFromStream(mapi_object,prop_id)
            else:
                    tag_name = mapiutil.GetPropTagName(prop_id)
                   err_string = mapiutil.GetScodeString(got_val)
                   print "Warning - failed to get property %s: %s" %
(tag_name,err_string)
       else:
                ret = got_val


prop_ids = (PR_BODY_A,MYPR_BODY_HTML_A,PR_TRANSPORT_MESSAGE_HEADERS_A)
hr,data=obj.GetProps(prop_ids,0)
body = GetPotentiallyLargeStringProp(obj,prop_ids[0],data[0])
html = GetPotentiallyLargeStringProp(obj,prop_ids[1],data[1])
headers =GetPotentiallyLargeStringProp(obj,prop_ids[2],data[2])

can anybody tell me ,

how can i get the images?
