Email reply body generator for HTML and text
Project description
replyowl: Email reply body generator for HTML and text in Python
replyowl creates email bodies with quoted messages. Provide the original message and your reply message, and replyowl will combine them into a new message. The returned content can be used as the text and/or HTML body content of a new email. HTML-to-text conversion is performed with html2text.
Installation
replyowl is available on PyPI:
pip install replyowl
Usage
from replyowl import ReplyOwl
owl = ReplyOwl()
text, html = owl.compose_reply(
content="<i>New</i> reply <b>content</b>",
quote_attribution="You wrote:",
quote_text="Original message text",
quote_html="<b>Original</b> message text",
)
print(text)
# _New_ reply **content**
#
# ----
#
# You wrote:
#
# > Original message text
print(html) # (output formatted for readability)
# <!DOCTYPE html>
# <html>
# <head>
# <title></title>
# </head>
# <body>
# <i>New</i> reply <b>content</b>
# <div>You wrote:<br />
# </div>
# <blockquote style="margin-left: 0.8ex; padding-left: 2ex;
# border-left: 2px solid #aaa; border-radius: 8px;" type="cite">
# <b>Original</b> message text
# </blockquote>
# </body>
# </html>
Links in HTML are preserved when creating plain text email bodies:
from replyowl import ReplyOwl
owl = ReplyOwl()
text, html = owl.compose_reply(
content=(
'Check <a href="https://example.com/">this</a> out<br />'
'Or this: <a href="https://example.net/">https://example.net/</a>'
),
quote_attribution="You wrote:",
quote_text="Send me a URL",
quote_html="Send me a <i>URL</i>",
)
print(text)
# Check this (https://example.com/) out
# Or this: https://example.net/
#
# ----
#
# You wrote:
#
# > Send me a URL
If the quoted HTML content contains a <body> tag, that is preserved:
from replyowl import ReplyOwl
owl = ReplyOwl()
text, html = owl.compose_reply(
content="Hello there",
quote_attribution="You wrote:",
quote_text="Hi",
quote_html='<html><body class="sender_body"><b>Hi</b></body></html>',
)
print(html) # (output formatted for readability)
# <html>
# <body class="sender_body">
# Hello there
# <div>
# You wrote:<br/>
# </div>
# <blockquote style="margin-left: 0.8ex; padding-left: 2ex;
# border-left: 2px solid #aaa; border-radius: 8px;" type="cite">
# <b>Hi</b>
# </blockquote>
# </body>
# </html>
A custom value can be provided for the <blockquote>'s style tag:
from replyowl import ReplyOwl
owl = ReplyOwl(blockquote_style="font-weight: bold;")
text, html = owl.compose_reply(
text, html = owl.compose_reply(
content="Your quote is in bold",
quote_attribution="You wrote:",
quote_text="I'm going to be in bold when you reply",
quote_html="I'm going to be in bold when you reply",
)
)
print(html) # (output formatted for readability)
# <html>
# <body class="sender_body">
# Your quote is in bold
# <div>
# You wrote:<br/>
# </div>
# <blockquote style="font-weight: bold;" type="cite"
# I'm going to be in bold when you reply
# </blockquote>
# </body>
# </html>
