Extract plain text body from TMail parsed email

Here’s a monkey patch for TMail::Mail I wrote to recurse through a message and extract all plain text body components of that message, returning an Array. For most use cases, the resulting Array will contain one String element.

Currently I put this code in a file called lib/tmail_extensions.rb and require ‘tmail_extensions’ in environment.rb

module TMail class Mail def plain_text_body gather_plain_text_parts(self).flatten end private def gather_plain_text_parts(part) returning [] do |message| message << part.body.strip if part.content_type == 'text/plain' part.parts.each { |p| message << gather_plain_text_parts(p) } end end end end
