一种合并电子邮件的方法和系统Method and system for merging emails

技术领域technical field

本发明涉及电子邮件(E-mail)技术领域，更具体地，涉及一种合并电子邮件的方法和系统。The present invention relates to the technical field of electronic mail (E-mail), and more particularly, relates to a method and system for merging electronic mails.

背景技术Background technique

电子邮件是建立在计算机网络上的一种通信形式。计算机用户可以利用网络传递电子邮件，以实现相互通信。电子邮件可以在计算机局域网上传递，也可在计算机广域网上传递。进行电子邮件通信，需要在网络文件服务器上建立电子邮件的“邮局”，它是电子邮件的中心集散地，可以为每个用户设置有地址的信箱。其他人可向该信箱发送电子邮件，信箱的主人也可以随时从信箱中取出邮件。此处的“邮局”实际上是网络文件服务器上的一组数据库文件。Email is a form of communication over a computer network. Computer users can communicate with each other by sending e-mail through the network. E-mail can be delivered over a computer local area network or over a computer wide area network. For e-mail communication, it is necessary to establish an e-mail "post office" on the network file server. It is the central distribution center of e-mail, and a mailbox with an address can be set for each user. Others can send emails to this mailbox, and the owner of the mailbox can also take out emails from the mailbox at any time. The "post office" here is actually a set of database files on a network file server.

电子邮件具有一定的格式。以目前世界上广泛应用的国际互联网电子邮件格式为例，它由三部分组成：信头、信体和签名区。信头包括邮件的收信人地址、邮件的发信人地址以及邮件主题；信体包括信件的内容；签名区一般附有发信者的祝福词或包含发信者特色和个性的信息。另外，有些电子邮件还可以带上各种文件格式的附件。Emails have a certain format. Taking the Internet email format widely used in the world as an example, it consists of three parts: letterhead, letter body and signature area. The letter header includes the recipient address, the sender address and the subject of the email; the letter body includes the content of the letter; the signature area is usually accompanied by the sender's blessing or information containing the sender's characteristics and personality. In addition, some e-mails can also carry attachments in various file formats.

除了基本的文字信息外，电子邮件也能传递图片、视像剪辑、声音剪辑和程序等数据文件。多用途网际邮件扩充协议(MIME)作为一种电子邮件的技术规范，目前已有广泛应用。在该协议中，指出了在不同的电子邮件系统之间进行传播的消息的格式。MIME是一种非常灵活的格式，支持用户在电子邮件中包含任何可见的文件类型。MIME邮件中可以包含文本、图片、声音、视频，或其它应用程序的特定数据。In addition to basic text information, e-mail can also transfer data files such as pictures, video clips, sound clips and programs. Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME), as a technical specification of electronic mail, has been widely used at present. In this protocol, the format of messages that travel between different electronic mail systems is specified. MIME is a very flexible format that allows users to include any visible file type in email. MIME mail can contain text, pictures, sound, video, or other application-specific data.

目前，各种具有收发、阅读、管理邮件的邮件管理软件也很常见，比如由微软公司开发的Outlook Express和Foxmail邮件管理软件等。这些邮件管理软件的推出使得人们收发管理邮件变得便利。At present, various mail management software with functions of sending and receiving, reading and managing mails are also very common, such as Outlook Express and Foxmail mail management software etc. developed by Microsoft Corporation. The release of these email management software makes it convenient for people to send and receive emails.

然而，在这些邮件管理软件中，每一封电子邮件都是单独的个体，电子邮件之间并不能合并，因此用户每次查阅邮件时都需要逐个查看作为个体的电子邮件，这就给用户带来了极大的不便。同时，随着电子邮件数目的增多，分散的电子邮件也不利于对电子邮件进行管理。另外，在很多情况下，用户可能会希望集中阅读某些具有相关性的电子邮件，而并不期望分散阅读此类电子邮件。However, in these mail management software, each e-mail is an individual, and the e-mails cannot be merged, so the user needs to check the individual e-mails one by one when checking the e-mails, which brings a lot of trouble to the user. Great inconvenience. At the same time, as the number of e-mails increases, scattered e-mails are not conducive to managing e-mails. In addition, in many cases, the user may wish to read some relevant e-mails intensively, and does not expect to read such e-mails scatteredly.

具体实施方式Detailed ways

为使本发明的目的、技术方案和优点表达得更加清楚明白，下面结合附图及具体实施例对本发明再作进一步详细的说明。In order to make the object, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clearly, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

本发明的主要思想是：首先对至少一封电子邮件执行MIME解码操作，以获取每封电子邮件的正文内容；然后合并各电子邮件的正文内容，以形成合并后的电子邮件正文内容；最后对合并后的电子邮件正文内容执行MIME编码操作，以生成包含合并后的电子邮件正文内容的电子邮件。The main idea of the present invention is: at first carry out MIME decoding operation to at least one email, to obtain the body content of each email; Then merge the body content of each email, to form the email body content after merging; The combined email body content is MIME encoded to generate an email containing the combined email body content.

图1为根据本发明的合并电子邮件的示范性方法流程图。如图1所示，该方法包括以下步骤：FIG. 1 is a flowchart of an exemplary method of merging emails according to the present invention. As shown in Figure 1, the method includes the following steps:

步骤101：对至少一封电子邮件执行MIME解码操作，以获取所述至少一封电子邮件的正文内容。Step 101: Perform a MIME decoding operation on at least one email, so as to obtain the body content of the at least one email.

在这里，可以对多封电子邮件执行MIME解码操作，以获取各封电子邮件的正文内容，也就是说，此处通过MIME解码将各封电子邮件的正文内容转化为二进制内容。优选地，可以在MIME解码操作中进一步获取各封电子邮件的邮件主题。如果某些电子邮件还具有附件，此处在MIME解码操作中还可以获取该附件。Here, the MIME decoding operation may be performed on multiple emails to obtain the body content of each email, that is, the body content of each email is converted into binary content through MIME decoding. Preferably, the subject of each email can be further obtained in the MIME decoding operation. If some emails also have attachments, the attachments can also be obtained here in the MIME decoding operation.

步骤102：合并所述至少一封电子邮件的正文内容，以形成合并后的电子邮件正文内容。Step 102: Merge the body content of the at least one e-mail to form a merged e-mail body content.

在这里，将在步骤101获取的各封电子邮件的正文内容进行合并，从而形成合并后的电子邮件正文内容，从而为对其进行MIME编码做好准备。也就是说，此处对在步骤101中获取的各封电子邮件所对应的二进制内容进行合并。Here, the body content of each e-mail obtained instep 101 is combined to form a combined e-mail body content, which is ready for MIME encoding. That is to say, the binary contents corresponding to the emails obtained instep 101 are merged here.

步骤103：对所述合并后的电子邮件正文内容执行MIME编码操作，以生成包含所述合并后的电子邮件正文内容的电子邮件。Step 103: Perform a MIME encoding operation on the merged email body content to generate an email containing the merged email body content.

在这里，对合并后的电子邮件正文内容执行MIME编码操作，将合并后的电子邮件正文内容转换成能被互联网电子邮件识别处理的文本格式，从而形成包含合并后的电子邮件正文内容的电子邮件。也就是说，此处通过MIME编码将合并后的二进制内容转换成能被互联网电子邮件识别处理的文本格式，从而形成合并邮件。Here, the MIME encoding operation is performed on the combined email body content, and the combined email body content is converted into a text format that can be recognized and processed by Internet email, thereby forming an email containing the combined email body content . That is to say, the merged binary content is converted into a text format that can be recognized and processed by Internet email through MIME encoding, so as to form a merged mail.

优选地，可以根据一定的合并规则来合并电子邮件。比如，可以合并电子邮件内容相关的各封电子邮件；可以合并电子邮件发送时间相关的各封电子邮件；可以合并电子邮件接收时间相关的各封电子邮件；可以合并电子邮件发送人相关的各封电子邮件等。Preferably, emails can be merged according to certain merge rules. For example, you can merge emails related to email content; you can merge emails related to email sending time; you can merge emails related to email receiving time; you can merge emails related to email sender e-mail etc.

以上虽然列出了一些用于合并电子邮件的合并规则，但是这仅为示范性的，而并不用于穷举目的。本领域普通技术人员可以意识到，其它各种形式的合并规则同样适用于本发明。Although some merging rules for merging e-mails are listed above, this is only exemplary and not for exhaustive purposes. Those of ordinary skill in the art can realize that other various forms of merging rules are also applicable to the present invention.

在进行MIME编码以形成合并邮件时，优选在获取的各封电子邮件的邮件主题中选择一个邮件主题，以作为包含合并后的电子邮件正文内容的电子邮件的邮件主题。其中，可以通过多种规则来选择邮件主题。比如，选择邮件主题内容最长的邮件主题，或者选择第一封电子邮件的邮件主题。When MIME encoding is performed to form a merged email, preferably one email subject is selected from the acquired email subjects of each email as the subject of the email containing the merged email body content. Among them, the email subject can be selected through various rules. For example, choose the email subject with the longest email subject content, or choose the email subject of the first email.

同样，以上虽然列出了一些用于选择电子主题的规则，但是这仅为示范性的，并不用于穷举目的。比如，在确定合并后邮件的邮件主题时，也可以不考虑初始的各封电子邮件，而是由用户重新确定一个新的邮件主题。Likewise, although some rules for selecting an electronic theme are listed above, this is only exemplary and not for exhaustive purposes. For example, when determining the mail subject of the merged mail, the initial emails may not be considered, but a new mail subject may be re-determined by the user.

此处，同样优选在包含合并后的电子邮件正文内容的合并后电子邮件中，附上在步骤101中获取的各个附件，从而便于用户了解所有电子邮件的完整信息。Here, it is also preferable to attach each attachment obtained instep 101 to the merged e-mail containing the merged e-mail body content, so that the user can easily understand the complete information of all e-mails.

以上过程中，在形成合并后的电子邮件后，优选向用户给出已经生成合并后的电子邮件的提示，并且可以对生成的合并电子邮件进行显示，从而便于用户对合并后的电子邮件进行阅读。In the above process, after the merged email is formed, it is preferable to give the user a reminder that the merged email has been generated, and the generated merged email can be displayed, so that the user can read the merged email .

同样，在形成合并后的电子邮件后，进一步优选删除作为个体的所有初始电子邮件，从而达到节省电子邮件存储空间的目的，并且这也利于对电子邮件进行集中管理。另外，在删除初始电子邮件的过程中，可以给予用户相应提示，由用户确定是否删除这些初始电子邮件。Similarly, after the merged emails are formed, it is further preferred to delete all individual initial emails, so as to achieve the purpose of saving storage space of emails, and this is also conducive to centralized management of emails. In addition, during the process of deleting the initial emails, a corresponding prompt may be given to the user, and the user determines whether to delete these initial emails.
