Parsing an MBOX file

[Oliver]

I have a client who wants to be able to parse and extract the message portions from an mbox (email) file. The mbox I have as an example has huge sections of what appears to be encrypted text. The code below extracts the text portions correctly, I think, but I'm not sure if the code is supposed to handle the seemingly-encrypted mbox text or if the mbox just has encrypted portions that can't be read.

Does the code below look correct to read/extract mbox data: to, from, subject, and body?

Thanks very much in advance,

-O

import os import mailbox import sys import pprint   print("Reading emails:")   mbox_file = "/Users/oliver/Desktop/mbox"   print("Processing " + mbox_file) mbox = mailbox.mbox(mbox_file)   for key in mbox.iterkeys():       try:         message = mbox[key]     except mbox.errors.MessageParseError:         continue  # The message is malformed. Just leave it.       print("From: " + message['from'])     print("To: " + message['to'])     print ("Subject: " + str(message['Subject']))     print("-----------------------------")     print("Body\n")     print (message)       print("********************************************")
