Mail Parser

Lua scripts to parse mail messages, plain or in MIME format.

Shell Script mail-parser.sh

Usage

• ./mail-parser.sh <mail-message-file> <output-directory> [first-content-type] [number-of-input-lines]

Parse a give mail message file and extracts its content into a given output directory. Optionally, the parsing and the extraction can stop after:

• the first (full pattern-matching) occurence of a given MIME content type (i.e., it can be a lua RE pattern without '^' and '$' that are implicit),
• the reading a given number of input lines (the processing of a content starting on a line before the given number will be finished).

Example

./mail-parser.sh sample.eml export_dir 'text/.*' 1000
