Email to HTML in Python

Question

I am looking for a library which can take a raw email message and convert it to appropriate html in python.

help will be appreciated

Answer 1

Here's some Python code to convert text to HTML

Answer 2

Use the MIME package included in email

http://docs.python.org/library/email Here some examples http://docs.python.org/library/email-examples.html

Answer 3

You have two choices,

If the email has a HTML payload, you can use that - maybe put a simple template together to wrap whatever metadata fields (from, to, subject, date etc.) you need.

If there is no html body, you can just wrap it in a <pre></pre> - use the same template.

Sorry, I can't name a library - there is not a lot to do.

What you can do is identify an open source app that handles email in a way you like it and take a look at the code. like this ppwm at sourceforge
