The Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) standard defines how to store non-ASCII text, images, and other data in RFC 822-style messages.
The mimetools module, shown in Example 6-3, contains a number of tools for writing programs that read
or write MIME messages. Among other things, it contains a version of
the rfc822 module’s Message
class, which knows a bit more about MIME encoded messages.
Example 6-3. Using the mimetools Module
File: mimetools-example-1.py
import mimetools
file = open("samples/sample.msg")
msg = mimetools.Message(file)
print "type", "=>", msg.gettype()
print "encoding", "=>", msg.getencoding()
print "plist", "=>", msg.getplist()
print "header", "=>"
for k, v in msg.items():
print " ", k, "=", v
type => text/plain
encoding => 7bit
plist => ['charset="iso-8859-1"']
header =>
mime-version = 1.0
