Some people are going to want to download a spreadsheet every now and then, and most of the apps in this category offer that.

Email scraping services mean you don't have to, so the best ones need to be user-friendly. You could, with enough time or resources, build custom scripts to do this job for you. They're easy, or at least manageable, to set up. This can be done using custom rules, using templates offered by the app itself, or in some cases by automatically scanning all incoming emails for particular data. The best email parsing apps meet the following criteria (and some go above and beyond). I tested every email parsing app I could get my hands on and selected the best ones.

Or maybe there is something simpler such as.
#PYTHON EMAIL PARSER CODE#
So far this is the only code i am aware of but i have yet to test it. How do you get the Body of this email via python ?

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo This is a multi-part message in MIME format. Assuming that "a" is the raw-email string which looks something like this.
