Is it possible to programmatically 'clean' emails?

Question

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can clean the body of incoming emails? I want to strip out disclaimers, images and maybe any previous email text that may be als

Answer 1

SigParser has an assembly you can use in .NET. It gives you the body back in both HTML and text forms with the rest of the stuff stripped out. If you give it an HTML email it will convert the email to text if you need that.

var parser = new SigParser.EmailParsing.EmailParser();
var result = await parser.GetCleanedBodyAsync(new SigParser.EmailParsing.Models.CleanedBodyInput {
    FromEmailAddress = "john.smith@example.com",
    FromName = "John Smith",
    TextBody = @"Hi Mark,
This is my message.

Thanks
John Smith
888-333-4434"
            });

// This would print "Hi Mark,\r\nThis is my message."
Console.WriteLine(result.CleanedBodyPlain);
