kubkon / email-chattifier Goto Github PK

Hey Jakub,
I'm trying to chatify an email thread, (see image). I click the button and it doesn't seem to do anything, nor does it provide feedback that it has performed an action or not performed an action.

Please consider:
providing user feedback on click to tell user:
"processing..."/
"nothing to process"/
"process complete"/
"x emails chatified"

The regex is too greedy resulting in wrongly parsed From...To... block. Example:

From:...
To...
Subject...
Date...

something else

From:...
Cc...

Will match all of it, instead of only the first block.

Cases where the reply is not in English fails. That is, the phrase does not contain the magic words "On" or "wrote", but it contains date, name and email address, and language specific words/characters. Example:

01/01/2011, Aaaa Bbbb <[email protected]> (wrote in foreign language):

Regex for matching most common signature delimiters, and their removal from the re-formatted email trail. Example of a signature would be:

---
John Someone
www.johnnyS.com

Parse:

From: someone <[email protected]>
To: someone <[email protected]>
Date:...
Subject:...
Cc:...

and its varieties into one liners of the type:

On <date>, someone <[email protected]> wrote:

If the email contains the following string:

(...) something, right -- which was (...)

then, the parser will eat everything to the right of "--" mistaking it for a signature:

(...) something, right

This includes also brackets surround email addresses <email_address>; hence this becomes <email_address which is obviously unwanted.

Links to websites, etc.

Example:

...
From: Someone <[email protected]>
...

This would result in a one-liner:

On ..., Someone wrote:

Rather than the expected:

On ..., Someone <[email protected]> wrote:

Example:

From: John <[email protected]> 
To:      [email protected]
Date:   01/01/2001 12:07 PM 
Subject: Your inquiry - Hello

Sometimes span elements containing the content of subject, i.e.:

<span>Your inquiry -
Hello</span>

Which then results in messed up textContent of the element (note the additional newline after "Your inquiry -".

Example:

...
The part number #1234 was unavailable...
...

will render to:

...
The part number

#1234

was unavailble...
...
