Hi together,
there might be another way to export the complete mail to text (I have
tested the way on Ubuntu 20.04) - but it works only with mails in plain
text format (HTML does not work)!
* install cups-pdf to get a local pdf-printer on your system (for all
applications
* install poppler-utils (there is a script called pdftotext included)
* print the mail you want to get as a text-file via cups-pdf. On my
system cups-pdf is configuered to put the pdf-file in
/var/spool/cups-pdf/$LOGNAME
* create a temporary directory for working, eg. /tmp/export-pdf
* select all pdf-files you want as a textfile and copy/move them from
cups-pdf directory to the temporary folder
* cd into /tmp/export-pdf
* run following commands: for i in *.pdf; do pdftotext $i; done
* you will find a bunch of textfiles, named like your pdf-file, but
with suffix .txt
That's it.
Best regards
Max
