Thanks for both of your suggestions:
Not direct save but you could change view to “Show HTML Source”,
[…]
Bill's correct, that won't give me access to the raw HTML.
To get the HTML part of a multipart (or pure HTML) message, you need
to use "Show Raw Message" […]
That's what I've been doing, but it's not convenient because the raw
email part will be either base64 or quoted-printable encoded, which is
not easy to decode. Base64 is easy to decode, but it seems to be less
common. I'm not sure how to decode quoted-printable correctly.
A tiny Perl script I call 'decode-qp':
#!/usr/bin/perl
eval 'exec /usr/bin/perl -S $0 ${1+"$@"}'
if 0; # not running under some shell
use MIME::QuotedPrint qw(decode_qp);
while (<>) {
print decode_qp($_);
}
The reason I want to extract HTML messages is to analyze them to
improve the spam filtering on the mail servers I manage, and it's
really useful to be able to access the html.
If you're friendly with Perl, there is a tool called mimeexplode in the
examples collection distributed with the MIME::Tools package which
explodes a MIME message into a directory tree containing its constituent
parts.
