Message

Synopsis

This is a class that models an email message. Protocol specific subclasses provide the actual implementations. Note that this class defines additional attributes beyond those included in the Part interface, including message recipients, senders, flags and subject.

Where supported by the underlying protocol, data will be read into the Message object as requested by the get methods, rather than when the Message is retrieved from the folder that contains it.
