Get the actual email message that the person just wrote, excluding any quoted text

Question

There are two pre-existing questions on the site. One for Python, one for Java.

• Java How to remove the quoted text from an email and only show the new text

Answer 1

I agree that quoted text or reply is just a TEXT. So there's no accurate way to fetch it. Anyway you can use regexp replace like this.

$filteringMessage = preg_replace('/.*\n\n((^>+\s{1}.*$)+\n?)+/mi', '', $message);
