gmail body not coming in correctly
I am pulling in my gmail emails from python and all of them have pulled in correctly. However all of a sudden some of my emails started coming in with random characters that don't make sense. I go back to the email and they are fine but the are being read randomly.
def extract_body(payload):
if isinstance(payload,str):
return payload
else:
return 'n'.join([extract_body(part.get_payload()) for part in payload])
conn = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL("imap.gmail.com", 993)
conn.login(username, password)
conn.select()
typ, data = conn.search( None, 'FROM email@example.com')
try:
for num in data[0].split():
typ, msg_data = conn.fetch(num, '(RFC822)')
for response_part in msg_data:
if isinstance(response_part, tuple):
msg = email.message_from_bytes(response_part[1])
payload=msg.get_payload()
body=extract_body(payload)
weird output:

Welcome to Super User! I did this (some years ago now). Are the emails you are pulling base64 encoded? IIRC I decoded them; I would need to wait until I return home to provide a proper answer.

Welcome to Super User! I did this (some years ago now). Are the emails you are pulling base64 encoded? IIRC I decoded them; I would need to wait until I return home to provide a proper answer.
