Parser Cleaning

MailAtlas exposes a ParserConfig for high-noise email workflows.

Available controls

• strip_forwarded_headers
• strip_boilerplate
• strip_link_only_lines
• stop_at_footer
• strip_invisible_chars
• normalize_whitespace

Example

from mailatlas import ParserConfig, parse_eml

document = parse_eml(
    "data/fixtures/atlas-founder-forward.eml",
    parser_config=ParserConfig(
        strip_forwarded_headers=True,
        strip_boilerplate=True,
        stop_at_footer=True,
    ),
)

Why it matters

These controls make it easier to benchmark parser behavior on synthetic fixtures and adapt the output for different downstream use cases:

• preserve wrappers for forensic workflows
• remove boilerplate for cleaner exports and retrieval chunks
• stop at footers for cleaner RAG chunks
