Hi
Anyone know how to READ attachments from emails in python ?

I can send attachments ok , but reading them is a different matter ...

You can iterate over the various MIME parts with 'walk()' and deal with each attachment using 'get_filename()' and 'get_payload()'. If you search for 'walk' on this example page you'll find a code sample parsing a multi-part email message.
