Title Body

I'm creating a basic system that allows users to reply to a thread on the website via email. However, most email clients include the text of the previous emails in their reply emails. This text is unwanted on the website. Is there a reliable way in which I can extract only the new message, without prior knowledge about the earlier emails? I'm using the email class of Python. Example message: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 test message! This is the part I want.

A good start would probably be to ignore the lines that start with > , but there could also be lines like that in between the new message, and then they probably should be kept. I'll also still have the content-type line and the date line.
