Extract structured data and attachments from raw email with MailParser

Use MailParser when an agent receives raw RFC822 or MIME email and needs a normalized result with headers, text, HTML, addresses, and attachments. This is for email ingestion and handoff workflows, not for acting as a mailbox client or delivery platform.

Prerequisites

Node.js

Installation

Use the upstream install or setup path that matches your environment:

• $ npm install mailparser

Requirements and caveats from upstream:

• Advanced email parser for Node.js. Everything is handled as a stream which should make it able to parse even very large messages (100MB+) with relatively low overhead.
• const mailparser = require('mailparser');
