quick and dirty html extraction for .eml files

parse-html-email.py

#!/usr/bin/env python3

# useful for development and testing, this gets the html payload from
# .eml files (e.g., as produced by Zend\Mail) and prints it to STDOUT

from email import parser;
import argparse;

args = argparse.ArgumentParser()
args.add_argument("filename", help="path to .eml file")
filename = args.parse_args().filename
data = open(filename)
msg = parser.Parser().parse(data)
html = msg.get_payload()[1]
thing = str(html.get_payload(decode=True))
print(thing.replace('\\n','\n'))
