Abstract
Examples described herein include receiving text of an email, determining a header of an email message in the email, and determining a body of the email message. Examples also include modifying the text of the email to indicate a beginning boundary and an ending boundary of the header, modifying the text of the email to indicate a beginning boundary and an ending boundary of the body, generating a hash of the header, generating a hash of the body, and tracing the email based on the hash of the header.
Claims20
A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions executable by a processing resource to:
- receive text of an email;
- determine a header of an email message in the email;
- determine a body of the email message;
- modify the text to indicate a beginning boundary and an ending boundary of the header;
- modify the text to indicate a beginning boundary and an ending boundary of the body;
- generate a hash of the header;
- generate a hash of the body;
- and
- trace the email based on the hash of the header.
A computing device comprising:
- a message engine to:
- receive text of an email, the email comprising an email message;
- determine a beginning and an end of the email message;
- mark the email message with a first extensible markup language element;
- a content engine to:
- determine a beginning and an end of a header of the email message;
- determine a beginning and an end of a body of the email message;
- mark the header with a second extensible markup language element;
- mark the body with a third extensible markup language element;
- and
- a hash engine to:
- generate a hash value representing the header;
- and
- modify the text to include the hash value.
A method comprising:
- receiving text of a first email;
- determining a first email message in the first email;
- marking the text of the first email with a first extensible markup language element to indicate the first email message;
- determining a body of the first email message;
- marking the text of the first email with a second extensible markup language element to indicate the body of the first email message;
- determining a first paragraph of the body;
- marking the text of the first email with a third extensible markup language element to indicate the first paragraph of the body;
- and
- generating a hash representing the first paragraph of the body.
