# Neah Email Application
A modern email client built with Next.js, featuring email composition, viewing, and management capabilities.
## Email Processing Workflow
The application handles email processing through a centralized workflow:
1. **Email Fetching**: Emails are fetched through the `/api/courrier` endpoints using user credentials stored in the database.
2. **Email Parsing**: Raw email content is parsed using:
- Server-side: `simpleParser` from `mailparser` library via `/api/parse-email` API route
- Client-side: `decodeEmail` function in `lib/mail-parser-wrapper.ts`
3. **HTML Sanitization**: Email HTML content is sanitized and processed using:
- `cleanHtml` function in `lib/mail-parser-wrapper.ts` (centralized implementation)
- CSS styles are optionally preserved and scoped to prevent leakage
4. **Email Display**: Sanitized content is rendered in the UI with proper styling and security measures
5. **Email Composition**: The `ComposeEmail` component handles email creation, replying, and forwarding
- `initializeForwardedEmail` function prepares forwarded email content
- Email is sent through the `/api/courrier/send` endpoint
## Deprecated Functions
Several functions have been marked as deprecated in favor of centralized implementations:
- Check the `DEPRECATED_FUNCTIONS.md` file for a complete list of deprecated functions and their replacements.
## Project Structure
- `/app` - Main application routes and API endpoints
- `/components` - Reusable React components
- `/lib` - Utility functions and services
- `/services` - Domain-specific services, including email service
- `/server` - Server-side utilities
## Dependencies
- Next.js 15
- React 18
- ImapFlow for IMAP interactions
- Mailparser for email parsing
- Prisma for database interactions
- Tailwind CSS for styling
## Development
```bash
# Install dependencies
npm install
# Start the development server
npm run dev
# Build for production
npm run build
```
# Email Formatting
## Centralized Email Formatter
All email formatting is now handled by a centralized formatter in `lib/utils/email-formatter.ts`. This ensures consistent handling of:
- Text direction (RTL/LTR)
- HTML sanitization
- Content formatting for forwards and replies
### Key Functions
- `formatForwardedEmail`: Format emails for forwarding
- `formatReplyEmail`: Format emails for replying
- `cleanHtmlContent`: Sanitize HTML while preserving direction attributes
- `formatEmailForReplyOrForward`: Compatibility function for both
This centralized approach prevents formatting inconsistencies and direction problems when dealing with emails in different languages.
