replyowl creates email bodies with quoted messages. Provide the original message and your reply message, and replyowl will combine them into a new message. The returned content can be used as the text and/or HTML body content of a new email. HTML-to-text conversion is performed with html2text.
replyowl is available on PyPI:
pip install replyowl
from replyowl import ReplyOwl
owl = ReplyOwl()
text, html = owl.compose_reply(
content="<i>New</i> reply <b>content</b>",
quote_attribution="You wrote:",
quote_text="Original message text",
quote_html="<b>Original</b> message text",
)
print(text)
# _New_ reply **content**
#
# ----
#
# You wrote:
#
# > Original message text
print(html) # (output formatted for readability)
# <!DOCTYPE html>
# <html>
# <head>
# <title></title>
# </head>
# <body>
# <i>New</i> reply <b>content</b>
# <div>You wrote:<br />
# </div>
# <blockquote style="margin-left: 0.8ex; padding-left: 2ex;
# border-left: 2px solid #aaa; border-radius: 8px;" type="cite">
# <b>Original</b> message text
# </blockquote>
# </body>
# </html>
Links in HTML are preserved when creating plain text email bodies:
from replyowl import ReplyOwl
owl = ReplyOwl()
text, html = owl.compose_reply(
content=(
'Check <a href="https://example.com/">this</a> out<br />'
'Or this: <a href="https://example.net/">https://example.net/</a>'
),
quote_attribution="You wrote:",
quote_text="Send me a URL",
quote_html="Send me a <i>URL</i>",
)
print(text)
# Check this (https://example.com/) out
# Or this: https://example.net/
#
# ----
#
# You wrote:
#
# > Send me a URL
If the quoted HTML content contains a <body> tag, that is preserved:
from replyowl import ReplyOwl
owl = ReplyOwl()
text, html = owl.compose_reply(
content="Hello there",
quote_attribution="You wrote:",
quote_text="Hi",
quote_html='<html><body class="sender_body"><b>Hi</b></body></html>',
)
print(html) # (output formatted for readability)
# <html>
# <body class="sender_body">
# Hello there
# <div>
# You wrote:<br/>
# </div>
# <blockquote style="margin-left: 0.8ex; padding-left: 2ex;
# border-left: 2px solid #aaa; border-radius: 8px;" type="cite">
# <b>Hi</b>
# </blockquote>
# </body>
# </html>
A custom value can be provided for the <blockquote>'s style tag:
from replyowl import ReplyOwl
owl = ReplyOwl(blockquote_style="font-weight: bold;")
text, html = owl.compose_reply(
text, html = owl.compose_reply(
content="Your quote is in bold",
quote_attribution="You wrote:",
quote_text="I'm going to be in bold when you reply",
quote_html="I'm going to be in bold when you reply",
)
)
print(html) # (output formatted for readability)
# <html>
# <body class="sender_body">
# Your quote is in bold
# <div>
# You wrote:<br/>
# </div>
# <blockquote style="font-weight: bold;" type="cite"
# I'm going to be in bold when you reply
# </blockquote>
# </body>
# </html>
