The main answer of Reading the mail content of an mbox file using python mailbox shows how to display the content of an email from a .mbox file:

if message.is_multipart():
    content = ''.join(part.get_payload(decode=True) for part in message.get_payload())
else:
    content = message.get_payload(decode=True)

However this does not show the "full original source" of the email ; I mean what we can have in nearly all webmails when clicking "Show original message": 

Delivered-To: ...
Return-Path: ...
...

How to get this with Python mailbox?

If message is a Python email.message.EmailMessage object (or the legacy email.massage.Message class from before Python 3.5), simply call its .as_string() method.

The payload method quite specifically extracts only one MIME part.
