我正在尝试使用Python 3从Thunderbird mbox文件中提取电子邮件消息的正文。这是一个IMAP帐户。
我想要将电子邮件正文的文本部分作为Unicode字符串可用于处理。它应该像在Thunderbird中一样“看起来”,而不包含转义字符,如\r\n、=20等。
我认为我不知道如何解码或删除Content Transfer Encodings。我收到各种不同Content Types和不同Content Transfer Encodings的电子邮件。这是我的当前尝试:
import mailbox
import quopri,base64
def myconvert(encoded,ContentTransferEncoding):
if ContentTransferEncoding == 'quoted-printable':
result = quopri.decodestring(encoded)
elif ContentTransferEncoding == 'base64':
result = base64.b64decode(encoded)
mboxfile = 'C:/Users/Username/Documents/Thunderbird/Data/profile/ImapMail/server.name/INBOX'
for msg in mailbox.mbox(mboxfile):
if msg.is_multipart(): #Walk through the parts of the email to find the text body.
for part in msg.walk():
if part.is_multipart(): # If part is multipart, walk through the subparts.
for subpart in part.walk():
if subpart.get_content_type() == 'text/plain':
body = subpart.get_payload() # Get the subpart payload (i.e the message body)
for k,v in subpart.items():
if k == 'Content-Transfer-Encoding':
cte = v # Keep the Content Transfer Encoding
elif subpart.get_content_type() == 'text/plain':
body = part.get_payload() # part isn't multipart Get the payload
for k,v in part.items():
if k == 'Content-Transfer-Encoding':
cte = v # Keep the Content Transfer Encoding
print(body)
print('Body is of type:',type(body))
body = myconvert(body,cte)
print(body)
但是这样会出现以下错误:
Body is of type: <class 'str'>
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/Users/David/Documents/Python/test2.py", line 31, in <module>
body = myconvert(body,cte)
File "C:/Users/David/Documents/Python/test2.py", line 6, in myconvert
result = quopri.decodestring(encoded)
File "C:\Python32\lib\quopri.py", line 164, in decodestring
return a2b_qp(s, header=header)
TypeError: 'str' does not support the buffer interface
decode=True
