For comparing some software I need a thread of mails, i.e. some mails with replies and replies to the replies... Content does not matter, but attachment and richt-text would be nice.

I wonder how to create such a dummy mail thread programmatically (preferably using Linux commandline tools or Python).

How would I create those dummy mails?

do you need to send the emails or just create them? – Noelkd Jun 01 '13 at 18:02
@Noelkd Just create them. – mcbetz Jun 01 '13 at 18:02

Yeah, that would probably be the right library. Maybe someone already wrote a script using it for such a task... – mcbetz Jun 01 '13 at 18:17
hopefully that's the case – Noelkd Jun 01 '13 at 23:52

if content doesn't matter wouldn't it be simpler to just download some mailing list archives? – Tommi Komulainen Jun 02 '13 at 10:39
