"""
Create a directed graph, allowing multiple edges and self loops, from
a unix mailbox.  The nodes are email addresses with links
that point from the sender to the recievers.  The edge data
is a Python email.Message object which contains all of
the email message data. 

This example shows the power of XDiGraph to hold edge data
of arbitrary Python objects (in this case a list of email messages).

By default, load the sample unix email mailbox called "unix_email.mbox".
You can load your own mailbox by naming it on the command line, eg

python unixemail.py /var/spool/mail/username
