emlx_parse

An EMLX file contains an individual email message created by Apple Mail

Description

emlx_parse takes as input a raw emlx email and generates a parsed object. The properties of this object are the same name of RFC headers:

• bcc
• cc
• date
• delivered_to
• from_ (not from because is a keyword of Python)
• message_id
• received
• reply_to
• subject
• to

There are other properties to get:

• body
• body html
• body plain
• headers
• attachments

Usage in a project

Import emlx_parse module:

import emlx_parse

sample_file_path = r'./test/sample/1.emlx'
my_eml = emlx_parse.Emlx(sample_file_path, decode=True)

Then you can get all parts

# Header
print(my_eml.header.subject)
print(my_eml.header.from_)
print(my_eml.header.to)
print('sent date:', my_eml.header.date_utc)
print('received date:', my_eml.header.received.date_utc)
print(my_eml.header.cc)
print(my_eml.header.bcc)

# Body
for part in my_eml.body:
    if part.text_plain:
        print('# TEXT #', part.text_plain)
    if part.text_html:
        print('# HTML #', part.text_html)
    # save image
    if part.image:
        print('my image')
        with open(part.filename, 'wb') as fh:
            fh.write(part.image)
    # save other attachment
    if part.attachment:
        with open(part.filename, 'wb') as fh:
            fh.write(part.attachment)
