# Parse the emails into a list email objects '''To separate multiple email addresses'''Īddrs = frozenset(map(lambda x: x.strip(), addrs)) If part.get_content_type() = 'text/plain': '''To get the content from email objects''' If emails is the pandas dataframe and ssage the column for email text # Helper functions My point is don't approach email lightly - it bites when you least expect it :) Relatively simple - just alternative representation: multipart/alternativeįor good or bad, this structure is also valid: multipart/alternative Very common - pretty much what you get in normal editor (Gmail,Outlook) sending formatted text with an attachment: multipart/mixed
Wikipedia describes it tightly - MIME, but considering all these cases below are valid - and common - one has to consider safety nets all around: In the simplest case it's in the sole "text/plain" part and get_payload() is very tempting, but we don't live in a simple world - it's often surrounded in multipart/alternative, related, mixed etc. Some background - as I implied, the wonderful world of MIME emails presents a lot of pitfalls of "wrongly" finding the message body.

Detailed documentation is provided in the User Manual as well as the API Reference. Flanker currently consists of an address parsing library (flanker.addresslib) as well as a MIME parsing library (flanker.mime). Flanker is an open source parsing library written in Python by the Mailgun Team. plain text, no attachments, keeping fingers crossedīTW, walk() iterates marvelously on mime parts, and get_payload(decode=True) does the dirty work on decoding base64 etc. Flanker - email address and MIME parsing for Python. If ctype = 'text/plain' and 'attachment' not in cdispo:īody = part.get_payload(decode=True) # decode To be highly positive you work with the actual email body (yet, still with the possibility you're not parsing the right part), you have to skip attachments, and focus on the plain or html part (depending on your needs) for further processing.Īs the before-mentioned attachments can and very often are of text/plain or text/html part, this non-bullet-proof sample skips those by checking the content-disposition header: b = ssage_from_string(a)Ĭdispo = str(part.get('Content-Disposition')) Or maybe there is something simpler such as.
#Python import email parser code#
So far this is the only code i am aware of but i have yet to test it. How do you get the Body of this email via python ? Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo This is a multi-part message in MIME format. Received: from a1.local.tld (localhost )īy a1.local.tld (8.14.4/8.14.4) with ESMTP id r6Q2SxeQ003866 Notes: RFC 822 forbids the use of some ascii characters, but these ascii characters can be used in parsing of string without disturbances if they are encoded. Assuming that "a" is the raw-email string which looks something like this.
