Rails - Parsing an e-mail message only for reply, not for old subject?

Question

I installed an application to receive incoming email messages through a message from a service. The controller that receives the messages looks something like this:

    class IncomingMailsController < ApplicationController    
      require 'mail'
      skip_before_filter :verify_authenticity_token

      def create
        message = Mail.new(params[:message])
        message_plain = (params[:plain])
        Rails.logger.info   'message2.plain:'
        Rails.logger.info   message2

        render :text => 'success', :status => 200 # a status of 404 would reject the mail
      end
    end

It successfully delivers the entire email, replies, forwards the history, etc. The problem is that I would like to receive only the text of the answer.

I am currently getting:

That not a bad idea. Lets try that out.

Answer 3

extended_email_reply_parser, github email_reply_parser.

Gemfile:

# Gemfile
gem 'extended_email_reply_parser'

:

message_plain = ExtendedEmailReplyParser.parse message

:

class IncomingMailsController < ApplicationController    
  skip_before_filter :verify_authenticity_token

  def create
    message = Mail.new(params[:message])
    message_plain = ExtendedEmailReplyParser.parse(message)

    render :text => 'success', :status => 200 # a status of 404 would reject the mail
  end
end
