is a small tool to allow writing a diary by sending mails to another mail. The programs reads out the mails and creates chunks of Markdown files. Those can then in turn be concatenated with mdmerge or shell magic.
---
markdown-base-path: "c:/tools/maildiary"
mail:
server: "imap.some-server.de"
port: 993
user: super-secret-user
password: even-more-secret-password
processing:
whitelisted-senders:
- some@test.de
- users@test.de
- may@test.de
- send@test.de
date-time-format: "dd.MM.yyyy HH:mm:ss"
template: |
## ({{received}}) {{subject}}
{{content}}
The configuration sample will have MailDiary to connect to imap.some-server.de using IMAP and iterate over all mails. Foreach mail that was sent from one of the whitelisted senders it will generate a markdown file using the template provided (defaulting to the above one).
As a templating language this tool uses scriban. For informatino about built in functions and how to use it read the documentation of scriban.
The markdown file will be named after hour, minute and second of the time when the mail was received and stored in a subfolder year/month/day in markdown-base-path.
Concatenation of generated markdown files is by design not part of this tool.
