Get body text of an email using python imap and email package

Question

I want to retrieve body (only text) of emails using python imap and email package.

As per this SO thread, I\'m using the following code:

mail = email         


        

Answer 1

The main problem in my case is that replied or forwarded message shown as message instance in the bodytext.

Solved my problem using the following code:

bodytext=mail.get_payload()[0].get_payload();
if type(bodytext) is list:
    bodytext=','.join(str(v) for v in bodytext)
