Installation

Install the project using NPM:

`` javascript
npm install --save email-reply-parser
`

RE2 Support

This library uses the RE2 regex engine when available for better performance and ReDoS protection. It automatically falls back to native JavaScript RegExp if RE2 is unavailable or fails to load.

RE2 is an optional dependency installed by default. If you encounter native compilation issues or want to exclude it:

`bash
npm uninstall re2
`

After a Node.js upgrade, you may need to rebuild RE2:

`bash
npm rebuild re2
`

Features

This library is used at Crisp everyday with around 1 million inbound emails. Over the years, we improved this library so it can work with most emails.
