#Step through the mine headers
For data in msg.walk():
    #get a filename from the header and assign it to name
    name = data.get_filename() 

                #if name ends with .tif write the attachment to the appropriate place.
	if name.endswith('.tif'):
                    #create the attachment data.get_payload does the actual extraction. this is then written to a file.
	    file = open(name, 'w').write(data.get_payload(decode = 1))
