The program creates a Python dictionary that maps the sender's mail address to a count of the number of times th…

Anyone knows why my code is not working? output is "cwen@iupui.edu 10" instead of
"cwen@iupui.edu 5". I think it is being double counted.

counts[word] = counts.get(word, 0) + 1

bigword = None
