I am using Outlook 365. When I forward received emails, I want all text after a particular string ('regards' in the example below) to be deleted.
For example, I receive the following email which I want to forward:
From: Sender Gmail sender#gmail.com
Sent: Saturday, 18 February, 2023 02:58
To: Receiver receiver#gmail.com
Subject: DTP Query
Hello Receiver,
Hope you are doing well.
Please review the project and let me know the cost and turnaround time.
Best regards
ABC Enterprises
New Delhi, India
abc#gmail.com
I want the header removed:
From: Sender Gmail sender#gmail.com
Sent: Saturday, 18 February, 2023 02:58
To: Receiver receiver#gmail.com
Subject: DTP Query
I want to retain:
Hello Receiver,
Hope you are doing well.
Please review the project and let me know the cost and turnaround time.
Best regards
And all information after regards to be removed:
ABC Enterprises
New Delhi, India
abc#gmail.com
Is there a way to do this?

There is a problem accessing the To alias from a o365 account IF the from account is also o365. If the from account is say, gmail, it works.
If I send an email to alias#mycompany.com which is an alias to realAccount#mycompany.com, if I examine the To header in Outlook, it will always show me the original alias. If I view the header progrmatically, it will NOT show the alias if it was sent from an o365 account. Instead, it shows the real account. If I do this same test with a gmail instead of an o365 email it works -- shows the alias in the To: header as expected.
How does Outlook access this data? The number of headers are different too. Outlook contains more data. Has anyone experienced this? Any ideas on how to access the alias like Outlook does?
Header when accessing from Outlook:
From: o365Account#somecompany.com
To: ***************** alias#mycompany.com ****************

Keep in mind that Exchange always resolves the sender and recipients to their primary addresses both when sending and when receiving the messages. This is just the way it works.
Are you sending through SMTP?
You know what I ended up doing? I made a Distro list with 1 recipient. The distro list takes the place of the alias. It always shows the To: as the distro list. That way it doesn't get lost. Thank you for helping me understand Exchange Server dmitry-streblechenko.
Read only the latest replied email text.

I am good

How to retrieve "i am good" ? Any direct way to retrieve this? Please help.
There's no standard for this. It's just a string. You have to guess what part of the string is an included or referenced message and which part is the reply. Different mailers use different techniques to include the original message in the body of a reply message.
I am having a PST files which contains the email history of a user. The task is to read this PST file and reconstruct the email history to display it in a client. This includes the correctly displaying of conversations as you know it from Email clients:
Meeting at 8:00 07:34 am
AW: Meeting at 8:00 09:12 am
AW: AW: Meeting at 8:00 13:45 pm
[Jenkins Build] Success 11:54 am
[Jenkins Build] Failed 12:13 pm
[Jenkins Build] Success 01:12 pm
[Jenkins Build] Success 10:34 am
[Jenkins Build] Failed 12:12 pm
[Jenkins Build] Success 05:12 pm
However, I don't know how I could do this reliably.
I am using java-libpst (see Official Documentation) which provides a PSTMessage object. There is a method getConversationId() but that appears to be just a string of the original subject of that message which means that there might be duplicates (e.g. [Jenkins Build]*).
So, I am not sure how Outlook is able to reconstruct conversations and whether this is trivial but if there is actually a simple method to do this which I am just overlooking I'd be happy if somebody would let me know - otherwise this will end up in me parsing a ton of subject fields, parsing them and trying to match emails by their subject with the danger of missing different conversations which just have the same subject coincidentally.
I think you will need to construct the conversations yourself. You might find the source code referenced on this page about the Netscape Mail message threading algorithm helpful.
I copied the source code to Github. Here's the email Threader.java file.
Here is someone offering an explanation of how Gmail constructs conversations My gist is:
Emails coming after an email with an equivalent subject, from any of the participants in any previous email, are part of the same conversation.
The in-reply-to email field can create participants to an email conversation even if they weren't an explicit participant.
Where:
equivalent subject means either an identical subject, or a subject that would result replying or forwarding. I.e. "FW: X", "RE: X", "Fwd: X", etc.
explicit participants in an email: the sender or any email appearing in a TO: or CC: field. (Maybe a BCC: field too...)
participants in an email: explicit participants in an email or anyone who has sent a later email using the in-reply-to field.
participants in any previous email: the distinct emails that are participants in email with an earlier send date having equivalent subject to a current email.
Here's another exposition of email fields relevant to email threading. What I took from this is that the References header should also be consulted in addition to the in-reply-to header, and that it is more reliable. (Maybe, if present, it should supercede the in-reply-to header.
I have noticed the various email clients prepend/append text to the text written by the user. For example, Gmail seems to prepend the following text to all email bodies:
"On Tue, Jul 14, 2015 at 11:41 AM, Jonny Bravo wrote: >"
The added text differs based on the client. I am not interested in this information. I would like to be able to extract the message body from the text with an approach that is relatively cross-platform. Does anything like this exist? Is the best solution to clean the text on a case-by-case basis?
We had the same problem at mailparser.io when we developed our "last reply" filter. We get very decent results by just checking against a set of regular expression.
The regular expressions we use are:
'/^(--)$/ms', // -- Signature break
'/^(-----(.+))$/ms', // ----- reply above
'/^(From:(.+))$/ms', // From:
'/^(On\s(.+)wrote:)$/ms', // On DATE, NAME <EMAIL> wrote:
'/^(Sent from(.+))$/ms', // Sent from (iPhone / iPad / Windows Mail ...)
With those you should actually catch most cases produced by e-mail clients which have their language set to English.
I'm trying to sort out an opt in mailing list system. I understand the basic principles and design required but i'm having an issue with it being picked up as spam.
If i send a html email through outlook through email#domain.com it works fine and is not treated as spam. When i use the Zend_mail object to send mail it sends but is treated as spam on the test emails accounts i'm sending it too.
This is the code im using to send an email item.
//send an email
$mail = new Zend_Mail();
$config = array('auth' => 'login','username' => 'email#domain.com','password' => 'mypassword');
$transport = new Zend_Mail_Transport_Smtp('mail.domain.com', $config);
$mail->setSubject($item->title);
$mail->setFrom("email#domain.com");
$mail->addTo($item->email, $item->forename);
//$mail->setBodyText($item->contentPlain);
$mail->setBodyHtml($item->contentHTML);
$mail->send($transport);
As you can see im using the smtp transport object to authenticate but it still seems to treat this as spam. Anyone with pointers or tips is very much appreciated!!
Header info from the email that is treated as spam:
It seems to contain a couple of client domain names in the header info that i host for people any ideas why that would be the case? I use a shared IP address with about 10 domains on it

"Roll your own mail" is often treated as spam by large hosted email systems. When you use a paid service to send out mass emails, you are paying for those company's agreements with the major email vendors to keep them white-listed.
One thing you can do, though, is to ensure that the account you are sending from exists and the email is being sent from a matching domain (e.g. #foo.com sent from foo.com's smtp server). That is a big red flag for spam filters.
Compare your email and email from outlook. Are any headers missing? Which? Do they seem significant?
Try this to get rid of the last localhost reference:
$protocol = new Zend_Mail_Protocol_Smtp('localhost');
$protocol->connect();
$protocol->helo('mail.yourserver.com'); //**DO THIS**
$transport->setConnection($protocol);
