I'm writing a Python
script to process emails returned from Procmail. As suggested in this question, I'm using the following Procmail config:
:0:
|$HOME/process_mail.py
My process_mail.py
script is receiving an email via stdin like this:
From hostname Tue Jun 15 21:43:30 2010
Received: (qmail 8580 invoked from network); 15 Jun 2010 21:43:22 -0400

Subject: TEST 12

ONE
TWO
THREE
I'm trying to parse the message in this way:
>>> import email
>>> msg = email.message_from_string(full_message)
I want to get message fields like 'From', 'To' and 'Subject'. However, the message object does not contain any of these fields.
What am I doing wrong?
