Convert EML email files to PDF.
EML files are email messages in MIME RFC 822 standard format.
This module is usable in three related use cases:
- rename the EML file to a recognisable file
- save attachments from the message to disk
- save the message to a PDF file, with an email header
Rename the eml file using data from the email message in this format: yyyy.mm.dd - from.name - subject.eml
Files with the same filename will receive a trailing counter, eg: yyyy.mm.dd - from.name - subject_1.eml.
import Eml2Pdf from "eml-to-pdf";
const eml2pdf = new Eml2Pdf("filename.eml");
eml2pdf.renameFile();TODO: allow custom filename formatting
Save the attachments in the email message to disk. These will be saved along the EML file in a subdirectory named with the naming scheme from renameFile.
import Eml2Pdf from "eml-to-pdf";
const eml2pdf = new Eml2Pdf("filename.eml");
eml2pdf.saveAttachmentsFromEML();TODO: accept a default directory as parameter where attachments will be saved
A pdf file will be saved to disk with the naming scheme from renameFile . It will have a header containing time, sender, receiver, Reply-to, CC and subject.
import Eml2Pdf from "eml-to-pdf";
const eml2pdf = new Eml2Pdf("filename.eml");
eml2pdf.convertEMLtoPDF();- TODO: add a table with attachments info at the end of the pdf
- TODO: provide ability to set scaling options for the PDF
- TODO: reduce the impact from message CSS on the header layout
KNOWN ISSUES: the PDF will be scaled on HiDPI screens.
