# Email Reply Parser for Java

A port of GitHub's Email Reply Parser library, by the fine folks at [Driftt](http://www.driftt.com/).

## Summary

Email Reply Parser makes it easy to grab *only* the last reply to an on-going email thread.

Say you'd like to parse out a user's response to your transaction email messages:

```

Yes that is fine, I will email you in the morning.

```

Yes that is fine, I will email you in the morning.

```
