Creating CSV file without images and attachments
I periodically need to convert my sent Emails to CSV. I typically use the NG tool for this. The problem is that the output is partially jibberish (random symbols) which takes a lot of space and is difficult to navigate. I suspect the problem is with the emails that have attachments or embedded images. I could be wrong, but I suspect that these attachments are sort of corrrupting the output file. (Not a true corruption; but inserting thousands of needless characters that renders the file very difficult to use.) I need a way to export the email without attachments or images; all I need is date, recipient, and body. I have Googled this used AI and have tried many methods, but nothing is working. The last attempt was to export as EML (messages and index), which did seem to save the emails without attachments/embeds. But then for some reason I could not import those messages back into Thunderbird. So I'm running in circles. Is there a simple way to create a CSV file that simply has date, recipient, message body (and possibly subject line), and excludes attachments and embedded images?
