turn emails to printable book
So, I got an idea.
An application that you point it to email messages, on server or flat files, and it creates a pdf book out of it. So you can print it out.. the conversations as a book.
This would be a fun project.
Let’s call it… Email::Book ?
There’s a lot of stuff on cpan that would be of great use, Email::Store.. who knows.
The task needs to be separated into various areas.
- getting the emails, server or whatever, to text files
- turn saved text file emails to db
- fetch emails from db, convert to text using template
- output to pdf
The emails could be identified by md5sum so not two are accepted twice
or the md5sum could be run on the body instead
