Quick python code to parse mbox files, specifically those used by GMail. Extracts sender, date, plain text contents etc., ignores base64 attachments. · GitHub

row 68, suggestion: print('Parsing email {0} of {1}'.format(idx + 1, num_entries)) (idx fix)
The comment # ~*~ utf-8 ~*~ is useless; the default source code encoding for Python 3 is UTF-8 anyway, and if you wanted to communicate this fact to Emacs etc, the proper format uses dashes, not tildes, and a token coding: before the encoding name. See PEP-263.
Thanks! This helped me out. In parse_email(), would it make more sense to assign the email parts to instance variables? E.g.self.email_from = self.email_data['From']
instead ofemail_from = self.email_data['From']
Otherwise, how is a user of this class meant to access these?
@benwattsjones Brilliant, thanks for posting this!
@redcay yes, that or something like it is needed.
