Imports

  import os, sys, re, fileinput
  from email.parser import Parser as parsemail

We use each library for a purpose:

use-name-as-caption

os

this is used to access environment variables

sys

is used to access arguments, input

re

used for matching and extraction

fileinput

used to read message from standard input

Parser as parsemail from email.parser

This is use to parse email messages from standard input

Variables

  data = {}
  messagedata = {}
  agendafile = '~/org/emailagenda.org'
  level = 1
  datetype = 'inactive'
  if os.environ['EMAILTOAGENDAFILE']:
     agendafile = os.environ['EMAILTOAGENDAFILE']

data

a dictionary used to store data for output

agendafile

this is set by default to ~/org/emailagenda.org. if the environment variable EMAILTOAGENDAFILE is defined that is used

level

this is the level you want the heading to be, defaults to level 1, the top.

datetype

this is the type of timestamp to be generated, either active or inactive, defaults to inactive.
