# mail2csv

This command-line utility converts the contents of a `Maildir` to a CSV file. Each header becomes a CSV column, and each email becomes a row.

```

$ mail2csv example/

Date,Subject,From

"Wed, 16 May 2018 20:05:16 +0000",An email,Bob 

"Wed, 16 May 2018 20:07:52 +0000",Also an email,Alice 

```

By default, only `Date`, `Subject` and `From` headers are shown. Use `--headers` to specify which other headers to include, and `--all-headers` to include them all.
