It parses TNEF streams and exposes the decoded message components\u2014attachments, body text (plain, HTML, or RTF), MAPI properties, and metadata\u2014as Python objects. The library includes both a programmatic API for integration into applications and a command-line utility for direct file inspection and extraction.\n\nWith no external dependencies beyond Python itself, it runs on CPython 3.6+ and PyPy3. The package has been actively maintained since 2012, with recent improvements including embedded message object support, JSON export, and type annotations. It is commonly used to handle winmail.dat files and other TNEF-encoded messages that arrive in email systems, particularly those interoperating with Microsoft Exchange or Outlook.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is production-stable, actively maintained, has zero known vulnerabilities, and requires no external dependencies. Install it if you need to parse TNEF files or extract attachments from Microsoft-encoded email messages. The LGPL license is permissive for most use cases but requires source disclosure if you distribute derivative works."},"id":"tnefparse","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/tnefparse","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/tnefparse.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/tnefparse/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2021-01-24","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"tnefparse","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"a TNEF decoding library written in Python, without external dependencies"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":189253,"position":9932,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.4.0"}
