[colug-432] Code check

[Tom Hanlon]

Thanks Eric, and Jim,

I will implement one of the above solutions. And I expect success will soon
follow.

Overview...
Just trying to take a mbox folder from a mail archive and write into an
avro file, a binary delimited hadoop friendly container with a schema.

Like any programming project I made great initial progress..
Wrote an avro file in python.. that went pretty fast.
Parse a mbox .. that went pretty fast.
Extract the to, from, subject and date.. that went pretty fast.

Pull out the message itself, that is where I hit some bumps..

I thought
import mailbox
would provide a simple tostring method, but as far as I can tell it does
not. And due to MIME I see why,  so the simple stuff like headers are
straightforward, MIME messages make the payload extraction a challenge.


Thanks everyone.
