replyowl

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

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>
