multipart and body

[tcurdt]

I got this to work but for multi part messages I see "part" objects - but don't see yet how to use them. For plain text the data is still encoded.

Would be great if you could expand on the currently very minimalistic example :)

Messages from gmail have their bodies encoded in base64. I use this function to convert it to a normal string:

function base64toUTF8 (str) {
    return new Buffer(str, 'base64').toString('utf8');
};

I wrote function

    static getNestedBodyByMimetype(payload, type):string {
        if(payload && payload.body.data && payload.mimeType === type) {
            return Buffer.from(payload.body.data, 'base64').toString();
        }

        for(let part of payload.parts || []) {
            const res = MailConverter.getNestedBodyByMimetype(part, type);
            if(res) return res;
        }
    }

and use it in the following way

 const text = MailConverter.getNestedBodyByMimetype(email.payload, 'text/plain'); // Buffer.from(email.payload.parts.find(part => part.mimeType === 'text/plain').body.data, 'base64').toString()
            const html = MailConverter.getNestedBodyByMimetype(email.payload, 'text/html'); // Buffer.from(email.payload.parts.find(part => part.mimeType === 'text/html').body.data, 'base64').toString()

For email without text I can type

import {convert} from 'html-to-text';

            const text = convert(html, {
                wordwrap: false, selectors: [
                    {selector: 'img', format: 'skip'},
                    {selector: 'a', options: {noAnchorUrl: true}}
                ]
            });

Fo emails without html I typed

const MarkdownIt = require('markdown-it');

            const md = new MarkdownIt({linkify: true});
            const html = md.render(text);

but this is out of scope of this package that only sync gmail raw data with us.
