node-red-contrib-eml

A Node-RED that parses an EML (email) file. It basically works as the official node-red-node-email input node, accepting a buffer of an EML file as input, instead of fetching it from a mail server.

This node uses the MailParser library, part of the NodeMailer project.

Install

Either use the Node-RED Menu - Manage Palette - Install, or run the following command in your Node-RED user directory - typically ~/.node-red

npm install node-red-contrib-eml

Usage

You pass the content of an EML file, as a buffer, in the msg.payload.

After processing, the subject of the email message is loaded into msg.topic and msg.payload is the plain text body. If there is text/html then that is returned in msg.html. msg.from and msg.date are also set if you need them.

Additionally, msg.header contains the complete header object including to, cc and other potentially useful properties.

Attachments contained in the email message are returned in the msg.attachments array.
