It provides four main functions: quote() and quote_html() to separate original text from quoted sections (returning tuples indicating whether each section should be expanded by default), and unwrap() and unwrap_html() to extract forwarded messages or replies by parsing headers and separating top/bottom text from the wrapped content.\n\nThe library is designed for email processing workflows where you need to distinguish between a user's original message and quoted or forwarded content. It has one runtime dependency (typing_extensions) and optionally requires libxml for HTML parsing. The package is actively maintained, supports Python 3.10 through 3.12, and carries no known security vulnerabilities.","worth_installing":"Yes, with conditions. The library is actively maintained, has no security vulnerabilities, and solves a specific email parsing problem well. However, high install friction (source-only distribution) may cause deployment friction in some environments. Install it if you need robust email quote detection and can tolerate building from source; skip it if your deployment pipeline requires pre-built wheels."},"id":"quotequail","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/quotequail","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/quotequail.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/quotequail/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-05-28","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"quotequail","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"A library that identifies quoted text in plain text and HTML email messages."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":118128,"position":12131,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.5.0"}
