Save HTML Email Embedded Images

Saves HTML embedded items to files in a subdirectory. Images, style sheets, and anything else embedded within HTML, are not considered to be attachments. Instead, these items are "related item". The Chilkat email object provides a set of methods/properties for accessing the related items within an email. CkPython

import sys
import chilkat

success = False

email = chilkat.CkEmail()

#  Load an email object containing HTML with embedded images.

success = email.LoadEml("myEmails/HtmlEmail.eml")
if (success != True):
    print(email.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

#  Iterate over the related items.  
#  Print the file name and save each to a file.
i = 0
numRelated = email.get_NumRelatedItems()
while i < numRelated :

    print(email.getRelatedFilename(i))

    success = email.SaveRelatedItem(i,"myRelatedItemsDir")
    if (success != True):
        print(email.lastErrorText())
        sys.exit()

    i = i + 1
