Installation

Install the project using NPM:

npm install --save email-reply-parser

RE2 Support

By default, the library relies on the RE2 regex engine, which provides better performance and avoids issues like ReDOS. By default, RE2 will be installed as a peer dependency.

If you want to explicitly exclude RE2, then npm uninstall re2.

Features

This library is used at Crisp everyday with around 1 million inbound emails. Over the years, we improved this library so it can work with most emails.

• Strip email replies like On DATE, NAME <EMAIL> wrote:
• Supports around 10 locales, including English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Japanese, Chinese.
• Removes signatures like Sent from my iPhone
• Removes signatures like Best wishes

Usage

var EmailReplyParser = require("email-reply-parser");

var email =  new EmailReplyParser().read(MY_EMAIL_STRING);

console.log(email.getVisibleText());
