Email Parser

About the tool

An email message contains a set of headers and a body. The headers contain metadata about the message, such as the sender, recipient, subject, and date. The body contains the actual message content. The body can be plain text, HTML, or a combination of both.

This tool allows you to paste an email message and see its parsed representation. The parsed representation contains the message headers and the body content. The body content is decoded from the Content-Transfer-Encoding specified in the message headers.

Under the hood, the tool uses the mailparser library to parse the email messages.
