Muttlook

Background

Fork from a tool for mu4e-mimelook, creating a mutt assistance tool to reply HTML mail (mainly outlook) without reconstruct the original format, with markdown replies.

• Support reply with Markdown but maintain the style
• Support inline image

Other dependencies

There are many tools installed in the machine to run the script for the purpose.

• Neomutt (edit-content-id and MIME alternative multipart support) not upstream mutt.
• Create tmp folder /tmp/muttlook?
• Mutt-trim

• mail-parser-reply (https://github.com/alfonsrv/mail-parser-reply), tested with v3.11
• Markdown (https://Python-Markdown.github.io/, tested with v3.1.1)
• python-magic (http://github.com/ahupp/python-magic, tested with v0.4.15)
• libmagic (e.g., libmagic1 on Ubuntu or libmagic in homebrew)

Tested with Python 3.11.
