<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 576553 by <a href="/recipes/users/4167472/">Romain Dartigues</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/email/">email</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/generators/">generators</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/mbox/">mbox</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/read_only/">read_only</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/stdin/">stdin</a>). Revision 2. </p> <p>The Python <code>mailbox.mbox</code> class require a real file to initialize, which was an issue in my case. These simple functions let you iter through a mailbox read from a read-only file descriptor (like <code>sys.stdin</code>).</p> <p>This script use the generators which were introduced in Python-2.2. Let me know if you are interested a similar functionnality on older Python versions.</p>
