TMail Meta Data Functionality¶ ↑
Allows you to include extra data within the body of e-mail messages for use in automated parsing through TMail.
Settings¶ ↑
If you need to override the default scanner you can run this:
TMail::Metas.scanner = /Metas\((.*)\)/ TMail::Metas.scanner_options = {:seperator => ':', :group_seperator => ','} # which will look for this: # Metas(project_id:12,type:message)
Example¶ ↑
%w{pp rubygems tmail tmail_metas}.each { |lib| require lib } EMAIL = <<-end To: you@example.com From: me@example.com Subject: This is my automated email This is an email which will be automatically handled by a ruby script! The body will be stripped of these meta tags while they are made available in the mail.metas hash. {{project_id=12345&category=Incoming Emails&create=message}} end mail = TMail::Mail.parse(EMAIL) pp mail.metas # => {"category"=>"Incoming Emails", "project_id"=>"12345", "create"=>"message"} pp mail.body # => (body with the {{...}} metas stripped)
