Answer 1

This will get you the contents of the message

self.currentEmailParsedInstance.get_payload()

As for the text only part you will have to strip HTML on your own, for example using BeautifulSoup.

Check this link for more information about the Message class the Parser returns. If you mean getting the text part of messages containing both HTML and plain text version of themselves, you can specify an index to get_payload() to get the part you want.

I tried with a different MIME email because what you pasted seems malformed, hopefully it got malformed when you edited it.

>>> parser = email.parser.Parser()
>>> message = parser.parse(open('/home/vinko/jlm.txt','r'))
>>> message.is_multipart()
True
>>> parts = message.get_payload()
>>> len(parts)
2
>>> parts[0].get_content_type()
'text/plain'
>>> parts[1].get_content_type()
'message/rfc822'
>>> parts[0].get_payload()
'Message Text'

parts will contain all parts of the multipart message, you can check their content types as shown and get only the text/plain ones, for instance.

Good luck.

Answer 2

ended up with this

        parser = email.parser.Parser()
        self._email = parser.parse(open('/home/vinko/jlm.txt','r'))
        parts=self._email.get_payload()
        check=parts[0].get_content_type()
        if check == "text/plain":
            return parts[0].get_payload()
        elif check == "multipart/alternative":
            part=parts[0].get_payload()
            if part[0].get_content_type() == "text/plain":
                return part[0].get_payload()
            else:
                return "cannot obtain the body of the email"
        else:
            return "cannot obtain the body of the email"
