Imagine that you receive and parse an email using the ruby Mail gem . 想象一下，您使用ruby Mail gem接收并解析了一封电子邮件。 I need to be able to determine if the email has been forwarded, and extract the original sender and message. 我需要能够确定电子邮件是否已转发，并提取原始发件人和邮件。 By this I mean forwarded as in a user somewhere has clicked the "Forward" button in their email client or webmail interface. 所谓“转发”，是指用户在某处单击电子邮件客户端或Webmail界面中的“转发”按钮。

I guess my questions are: 我想我的问题是：

Are there are any concrete rules for what email clients should do to a forwarded message? 电子邮件客户端应如何处理转发的消息，是否有任何具体规则？
If so, where can I find them? 如果是这样，我在哪里可以找到它们？
If not, would anyone like to volunteer to forward me some example emails from various different email clients so that I can build a reliable forwarded email detector and parser (the examples would be anonymized and the detector/parser will be open-sourced as a ruby gem on GitHub)? 如果不是这样，有人愿意自愿转发一些来自不同电子邮件客户端的示例电子邮件，以便我可以构建可靠的转发电子邮件检测器和解析器（示例将被匿名化，检测器/解析器将作为红宝石开源。 GitHub上的gem）？

Cheers! 干杯!

Yes, they should attach the forwarded email or include it on the body 是的，他们应该附加转发的电子邮件或将其包含在正文中
You need to parse yourself the emails and try to detect that. 您需要分析自己的电子邮件，然后尝试进行检测。
I don't have this ... sorry! 我没有这个...抱歉！

Each email client can do whatever they want. 每个电子邮件客户端可以做他们想做的任何事情。 So even if you create a detector/parsaer today, tomorrow with a new version of outlook/thunderbird probably it will not match. 因此，即使您今天创建了一个探测器/ parsaer，明天使用新版本的Outlook / Thunderbird可能也不会匹配。
