parser_email

I needed a parser for Email, so I wrote one. At the moment it doesn't do much but parse the headers. Feel free to contribute.

Install

npm install parser_email

Example

This assumes that the file is saved somewhere on the file system, but it can easily be any type of incoming stream.

var   fs        = require('fs')
    , util      = require('util')
    , em_parse  = require('parser_email')

var mail = '';
var path_to_email = '~/emails/email.eml';

stream = fs.ReadStream(path_to_email);
stream.setEncoding('ascii');

stream.on('data', function(data) {
    mail += data;
});

stream.on('close', function () {
    parser = new em_parse(mail);

    //At the moment Email Parser emit's one event: part
    parser.on('part', function (type, body) {
        util.log('Received a part of type ' + type);
    });

    parser.execute();
});
