R David Murray 29d1bc0842 #24277: The new email API is no longer provisional.
This is a wholesale reorganization and editing of the email documentation to
make the new API the standard one, and the old API the 'legacy' one.  The
default is still the compat32 policy, for backward compatibility.  We will
change that eventually.

# Import the email modules we'll need
from email.parser import BytesParser, Parser
from email.policy import default
# If the e-mail headers are in a file, uncomment these two lines:
# with open(messagefile, 'rb') as fp:
# headers = BytesParser(policy=default).parse(fp)
# Or for parsing headers in a string (this is an uncommon operation), use:
headers = Parser(policy=default).parsestr(
'From: Foo Bar <user@example.com>\n'
'To: <someone_else@example.com>\n'
'Subject: Test message\n'
'\n'
'Body would go here\n')
# Now the header items can be accessed as a dictionary:
print('To: {}'.format(headers['to']))
print('From: {}'.format(headers['from']))
print('Subject: {}'.format(headers['subject']))
# You can also access the parts of the addresses:
print('Recipient username: {}'.format(headers['to'].addresses[0].username))
print('Sender name: {}'.format(headers['from'].addresses[0].display_name))
