eml-to-pdf

Convert EML email files to PDF.

EML files are email messages in MIME RFC 822 standard format.

Usage

This module is usable in three related use cases:

• rename the EML file to a recognisable file
• save attachments from the message to disk
• save the message to a PDF file, with an email header

Rename the email message

Rename the eml file using data from the email message in this format: yyyy.mm.dd - from.name - subject.eml

Files with the same filename will receive a trailing counter, eg: yyyy.mm.dd - from.name - subject_1.eml.

var eml2pdf = new Eml2Pdf("filename.eml");

eml2pdf.renameFile();

TODO: allow custom filename formatting

Save attachments to disk

Save the attachments in the email message to disk. These will be saved along the EML file in a subdirectory named with the naming scheme from renameFile.

var eml2pdf = new Eml2Pdf("filename.eml");

eml2pdf.saveAttachmentsFromEML();

TODO: accept a default directory as parameter where attachments will be saved

Convert email message to PDF

A pdf file will be saved to disk with the naming scheme from renameFile . It will have a header containing time, sender, receiver, Reply-to, CC and subject.

var eml2pdf = new Eml2Pdf("filename.eml");

eml2pdf.convertEMLtoPDF();

• TODO: add a table with attachments info at the end of the pdf
• TODO: provide ability to set scaling options for the PDF
• TODO: reduce the impact from message CSS on the header layout

KNOWN ISSUES: the PDF will be scaled on HiDPI screens.
