how to open outlook mail headers with python(2.7)

Question

So far i have been able to do it in VBA:

Const PR_TRANSPORT_MESSAGE_HEADERS = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x007D001E"
Dim olkPA As Outlook.PropertyAccessor
Set olkPA = olkMsg.PropertyAccessor
GetInetHeaders = olkPA.GetProperty(PR_TRANSPORT_MESSAGE_HEADERS)

But i want to do it via Python.(i am not looking for someone to convert it for me i am looking the right way to read mail header).

This seems like you are looking for someone who converts your code from VBA to Python? If yes, I recommend reading the [the help pages](http://stackoverflow.com/help) especially the section ["What types of questions should I avoid asking?"](http://stackoverflow.com/help/dont-ask) — Markus, Jun 27 '17 at 08:14

The Outlook object model is exposed via COM - thats what your VBA uses to talk to it - Python can do the same (via win32com) E.g. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18101479/how-to-send-html-format-email-with-emebbed-imagesnot-attachment-using-outlook — Alex K., Jun 27 '17 at 11:14

found the solution:

import win32com.client

def internetheader(filename):
    outlook=win32com.client.Dispatch("Outlook.Application").GetNamespace("MAPI")
    msg = outlook.OpenSharedItem(filename) 
    internet_header= msg.PropertyAccessor.GetProperty("http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x007D001F")
    print internet_header

internetheader("test.msg")
