![]() ![]() 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. 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. 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. 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. Assuming that "a" is the raw-email string which looks something like this. ![]()
