Subject: [Tmail-talk] where to start with this parse request
Message-ID: <E79D60C1-2CC7-4CB2-A896-1709BDE3BAAC@gmail.com>

I am trying to parse an email that I receive in html format.  http://pastie.textmate.org/265259

I am looking through http://tmail.rubyforge.org to see how this works  
but am not having much luck with the Quick Start examples.

email = TMail::Mail.load( 'emailhtml.eml' )
=> #<TMail::Mail port=#<TMail::FilePort:/emailhtml.eml> bodyport=nil>
 >> puts email.to
nil
=> nil

Any help would be appreciated as I'm sorta stuck.

Thanks,
Geo

What do you get if you do email.to_s ?

Wondering if it is parsing correctly.

You can also try email['to']

Here is the code I am using and below are the results:

require 'rubygems'
require 'tmail'

email = TMail::Mail.load( 'emailhtml.eml' )

puts email.to_s # returns entire email
puts email['body'] # comes back nil
puts email['from']
puts email['Delivered-To']
puts email['to'] # comes back nil
puts email['subject']
puts email['date']
puts email['X-Originalarrivaltime']

Results (excluding entire email)
nil

Subject: [Tmail-talk] Parsing complex mail messages
Message-ID: <7E7B4F15-44EF-408C-8A4F-8361B1B68657@ncbi.nlm.nih.gov>

Hi,

I'm working on writing an inboound TMail gateway to a web application.  
So far I've been very pleased with TMail's capabilities and ease of  
use.  Thanks!

One of the challenges I'm looking at is handling messages with  
attachments, such as images or documents.  For example, the quoted  
message below from Apple's Mail.app has two inline images separating  
three parts of text.  The overall structure is:
===========
Hi I'm having some trouble with this image:
[image]
and I want it look like this:
[image]
--
Signature
===========

It there a good way to pull out the message text (in three parts) from  
the included attachments without my having to read all of RFCs  
2045,2046.

Other message compositions I've seen are: multipart/mixed( multipart/ 
alternative (text/plain, text/html)), attachment).
And so on.

I guess I could do a join of all the parts that are text/plain (unless  
they're attachments or inline) to make the message body.   But I  
suspect that someone has done all this before and I'm loathe to  
reinvent the wheel (esp. since I doubt mine would roll too well).

So, to recap, does anyone have any code to suggest that would help  
pull apart multipart messages into the 'message content' and associate  
attachments/inline parts?

Thanks,

Peter

I'm resending this because I don't see it showing up on the list and  
also including a link to the actual email I'm trying to parse.

The email is here: http://pastie.org/265259

I also posed my issue to the ruby-forum list and was direct back to  
this list.   http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/164757

I really am not sure what I am doing wrong.  Is it because the body of  
the email does not start with 'body' like when extracting the 'from'  
for example.

thanks for any help with this.

Here is the code I am using and below are the results:

require 'rubygems'
require 'tmail'

email = TMail::Mail.load( 'emailhtml.eml' )

puts email.to_s # returns entire email
puts email['body'] # comes back nil
puts email['from']
puts email['Delivered-To']
puts email['subject']
puts email['date']
puts email['X-Originalarrivaltime']

nil

Hi George,

I'm not quite sure what your question is here.

email.body returns the body

email['to'] is Nil because there's no 'To: ' header

email['delivered-to'].to_s might help (ah, but I see you already know  
that).

Cheers,

Peter

Peter,

Okay, now I feel pretty silly because yes email.body works perfectly.   
I'm still not sure why email['body'] doesn't though.

I am very new to ruby and programming in general, so I apologize my  
lack of knowledge on this.

Now I can keep moving forward.

Thanks so much,

The hash methods of TMail::Mail object only work for the headers.  Try
	email.keys

At least you had the guts to ask.
