Make it possible to read .eml from your smartphone using discord bot

Overview

I'm using Spark as an email app on iOS, but sometimes the forwarded email isn't displayed in the body and is attached as a .eml file. (This seems to be caused by settings on the Thunderbird user side.-> Mozilla Question Box) This .eml file cannot be opened directly on your iphone. You can see it by using a paid application or an online conversion page, but it is a little troublesome. This is solved with a discord bot.

The source of this discord bot is written in Python. I used this content for the process of extracting the content from the .eml file. -> Qiita

Goal function

--When you send an .eml file from your smartphone to the channel or DM where the discord bot is, the text file with the contents will be sent to discord. --Attachments are also sent. (** This feature is unconfirmed **)

Since the body of the email tends to be long, I sent it to discord as a text file instead of the content of the message.

source

import etc.

Except for MailParser, the contents are not so relevant this time.

main.py


from MailParser import MailParser

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
description = ""
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="?", description=description)

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print("Logged in as")
    print(bot.user.name)
    print(bot.user.id)
    print("------")

File reception

Also add it to the end of on_message in @ bot.event.

main.py


@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    #If there are attachments
    if (len(message.attachments) > 0):
        for att in message.attachments:
            #The extension is.Determine if eml
            file_extension = att.filename.split(".")[-1]
            if file_extension == ".eml":
                await read_eml(message.channel, await att.read())

Send contents of eml

To avoid garbled characters, it is encoded in Shift-JIS.

main.py


async def read_eml(discord_channel, file_content: bytes):
    """Read eml file,Display the contents"""
    #eml read
    eml_result = MailParser(file_content).get_attr_data2()
    # 
    file_path = f"{os.path.dirname(__file__)}/../out/eml.txt"
    # shift-Characters are garbled if it is not jis->Chrome-kun
    with open(file=file_path, mode="w", encoding="shift-jis", errors="replace") as f:
        f.write(eml_result["content"])
    await discord_channel.send(file=discord.File(file_path))
    for att in eml_result["attach"]:
        with open(f"{os.path.dirname(__file__)}/../out/{att['name']}", "wb") as f:
            f.write(att["data"])
        await discord_channel.send(file=discord.File(att["name"]))
```

### Read the contents of eml (change MailParser a little)

 Add subject to content and add a method that also returns attachments.


#### **`main.py`**
```python

def get_attr_data2(self):
    """
Get email data
    """
    mail_content = f"""\
SUBJECT: {self.subject}

----

FROM: {self.from_address}
TO: {self.to_address}
CC: {self.cc_address}

----

{self.body}

----

ATTACH_FILE_NAME:
{",".join([ s["name"] for s in self.attach_file_list])}
"""
    return {"content":mail_content, "attach":self.attach_file_list}

setattr(MailParser, get_attr_data2.__name__, get_attr_data2)
```

## how to use

 1. Send the `.eml` file from the share to Discord.
 2. The bot sends back the text file.
 3. Open it in your browser and you will see the contents.
