message_md

Code to hold Messages and convert them to Markdown.

Also includes all the supporting classes for Person, Group, Setting, String, Config, Attachments so the client code only needs to deal with the app-specific parsing of message files.

Configuration

Read the guide to learn how to configure the library.

Command line options

Any app that uses this library will inherit these command line options.

IMPORTANT: by default the begining date for the parsing is today so that it's easier (and faster) to get results and make sure everything is workling because you only have to look at a day's worth of messages. Once you're ready to parse everything, use something like -b 1970-01-01 to get all the messages.
