# Email Reply Parser for Python

A port of GitHub's Email Reply Parser library, by the fine folks at [Zapier](https://zapier.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.

```
