imaplib -- can't read body

[Sells, Fred]

I'm trying to read mail using the imaplib module. I can get the subject and date, but not the body, have not found any example on how to do that and I don't know much about imap. Here's what I have, working as noted...

If anyone can show me what I'm missing in order to get the body of a mail message, that would be greatly appreciated,

Fred
