email2pdf

Python script to convert emails to PDF from the command-line. Type email2pdf --help for more information on usage and options available.

Dependencies

wkhtmltopdf - if on Ubuntu, install the .deb from http://wkhtmltopdf.org/ rather than using apt-get to minimise the dependencies you need to install (in particular, to avoid needing a package manager).
getmail - getmail is not strictly a dependency, but when it is combined with email2pdf, it can be used to retrieve new emails from a remote IMAP server and automatically convert them to PDFs locally. The getmailrc.sample file in the repository can be used as a starting point for your own getmailrc to do this. Note that the sample will need editing, of course - see the getmail documentation for more information on that. Also, it is configured by default to delete remote emails from the server once they are converted - be careful with that.

Some basic Debian packaging is included. Simply run sudo apt-get install build-essential && make builddeb to build a Debian package.
