"""
A modification of MTSW2E Example 6-3 (http://bit.ly/1aWYgAv) with the following modifications:

* Extra debugging information is written to sys.stderr to help isolate any problematic content
  that may be encountered.
* A (hopeful) fix to a blasted UnicodeEncodeError in cleanContent() that may be triggered from
  quopri.decodestring attempting to decode an already decoded Unicode value.
* The JSONification in jsonifyMessage now ignores any content that's not text. MIME-encoded content
  such as images, PDFs, and other non-text data that is not useful for textual analysis without 
  significant additional work is now no longer carried forward into the JSON for import into MongoDB.

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

# Studying this script might be helpful in understanding why UnicodeDecode errors
# sometimes happen when trying to capture utf-8 output to files with Python 2 even
# though the output prints to your (utf-8 capable) terminal.

# Note that the first line of this file is called the Byte Order Marker (BOM), which 
# is a directive to tell Python that it should treat this file as utf-8 (i.e. comments and 
# string values may be utf-8)
