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

Maybe this post (of mine) can be of help. I receive a Newsletter with prices of different kind of oil in the US. I fetch email in gmail with a given pattern for the title, then I extract the prices in the mail body using regex. So i have to access the mail body for the last n emails which title observe given pattern.

I am using email.message_from_string() also: msg = email.message_from_string(response_part[1])

so maybe it gives you concrete example of how to use methods in this python lib.
