title: Python IMAPLIB HTML body parsing
body: <p>so basically i have this script that runs continuously and when a new email arrives in the inbox with specific text in the subject, it grabs information from the email. I have only managed to get it to pull the subject from the email but I cant get it do get the body of the email no matter what I try, I believe the email body is in HTML so i attempted to use BeautifulSoup to parse the body but that doesnt work at all. Please help!!! :( Here is what i have so far:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import email
  import imaplib
  from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
  import time
  import sys
  
  username = 'xxx.xxx@xxx.xx'
  password = 'xxxxxx'
  
  mail = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL('imap-mail.outlook.com')
  (retcode, capabilities) = mail.login(username, password)
  mail.list()
  
  n=0
  while True:
      mail.select('inbox')
      (retcode, messages) = mail.search(None, 'UNSEEN', '(SUBJECT "xxxxxxx- 
       ")', '(FROM "xx.xx@xxxx.xx")')
      if retcode == 'OK':
          for num in messages[0].split():
              n=n+1
              print('Processing Email ' + str(n))
              typ, data = mail.fetch(num, '(RFC822)')
              for response_part in data:
                  if isinstance(response_part, tuple):
                      original = email.message_from_bytes(response_part[1])
                      print("Subject: " + original['Subject'])
                      typ, data = mail.store(num,'+FLAGS','\\Seen')
                      time.sleep(120)
  </code></pre>
