Email Attachment Parsing

via “email message extraction with attachment handling”

Python tool for converting files and office documents to Markdown.

Unique: Recursively processes email attachments by routing them through the converter registry, allowing embedded documents (PDFs, Office files, etc.) to be converted to Markdown as part of email processing. This enables end-to-end email-to-Markdown pipelines.

vs others: More comprehensive than email extraction tools because it automatically converts attachments using the same converter registry, producing fully processed Markdown output without separate attachment handling steps.

** - MailSandbox (a fork of Mailpit) is a fast, zero-dependency email testing tool & API with a web UI, SMTP server, Postmark API emulation, and MCP server for AI-assisted debugging.

Unique: Zero-dependency MIME parsing for attachment extraction — no external libraries like python-email or node-mailparser required, reducing binary size and startup time

vs others: More efficient attachment handling than Mailpit because MailSandbox uses native MIME parsing optimized for testing workflows rather than general-purpose email processing
