It is my first script on python. Don't know is it correctly uses
modules, but it is working fine with specially with russian code pages
and mime formated messages. Also quoted-printable and base64
encoded....
It will be very good if anybody post any comments on this script. Is
it good or bad...

import mailbox
from email.Header import decode_header
from email.Header import make_header

outEnc="cp866"
infile=sys.argv[1]
subStrObrez = []
subStrObrez.append("~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~")
subStrObrez.append("""~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To UNSUBSCRIBE from this forum, send an email to:""")
subStrObrez.append("~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~")

n = string.rfind(strMsg,s)
if n != -1:
return strMsg[0:n]
return strMsg
# Convert message header
def my_get_header(str):
str2=""
for val,encoding in decode_header(str):
if encoding:
str2 = str2+ val.decode(encoding)+" "
else:

return str2

Some hints:
1) don't write
"xxxxxxxxx",
use
"x" * 10
instead; it's more readable and editable.

In Python >= 2.5 you can probably use the partition() method to make the
former function much shorter.

I'm not 100% sure what you're doing there, BTW I'd suggest you to use as
many Unicode objects as you can while working in Python, and encoding them
just when you're outputting them. It'll save you many headaches.
