If there is an e-mail text between "--" and "--", it will be placed below the image in a maximum of 2 lines and the image will be displayed smaller. The "--" was necessary, because otherwise special characters tend to appear in the various e-mail formats.

something like this should display the pics marked with @gram:

import discord

import os

import requests

from PIL import Image

from io import BytesIO

TOKEN = 'YOUR_DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN'

GUILD = 'YOUR_GUILD_NAME'

CHANNEL = 'YOUR_CHANNEL_NAME'

IMAGE_DIR = '/path/to/save/images/'

client = discord.Client()

async def download_and_save_image(url, filename):

    try:

        response = requests.get(url)

        img = Image.open(BytesIO(response.content))

        img.save(os.path.join(IMAGE_DIR, filename))

        os.system('feh --bg-center ' + os.path.join(IMAGE_DIR, filename))

    except Exception as e:

        print('Could not download or save image due to:', e)

@client.event

async def on_message(message):

    if message.author == client.user:

        return

    if '@gram' in message.content:

        if len(message.attachments) > 0:

            for attachment in message.attachments:

                await download_and_save_image(attachment.url, attachment.filename)

@client.event

async def on_ready():

    for guild in client.guilds:

        if guild.name == GUILD:

            break

    print(

        f'{client.user} is connected to the following guild:\n'

        f'{guild.name}(id:

 {guild.id})'

    )

client.run(TOKEN)
