Hi all,
I'm experimenting with email as a quick and easy way to send messages to my system. I want to do some basic validation so checking the sender's address is a good start, but although the docs for the email node say that "msg.from" should work, it appears to be undefined in the emails I'm receiving.
I have a work-around by checking "msg.header.from.text" at the moment, but this could be email-provider dependent. I'd prefer to use a simpler "msg.from" style accessor but can't see how to enable this. The email node doesn't have any other options for message formatting or content.
I haven't found any other posts in the forum relating to this, so I'm guessing it's something odd in my email setup or message handling. If there's an extra email processing node, or something else I need, please let me know.
For reference, my typical received email message looks like :
object
payload: "More nonsense"
topic: "Test message"
date: "2019-09-21T15:24:09.000Z"
header: object
received: array[3]
dkim-signature: object
x-originating-ip: "[...my IP...]"
< skip various header items >
reply-to: object
from: object
value: array[1]
html: "<span class="mp_address_group"><a href="mailto:...my email..." class="mp_address_email">...my email...</a></span>"
text: "...my email..."
to: object
value: array[1]
html: "<span class="mp_address_group"><a href="mailto:...my target sys..." class="mp_address_email">...my target sys...</a></span>"
text: "...my target sys..."
references: false
subject: "Test message"
date: "2019-09-21T15:24:09.000Z"
etc.
(I'm sure there are better ways to format the above, but I can't figure it out at the mo')
