I need to turn emails that have been printed to PDF, into .eml files I can browse and search with thunderbird. they're all in the same doc, pagination does not nec. correlate to email boundaries so you have to go off FROM headers instead for pagination

I am imagining a pandoc -> something -> pagination -> .eml (its a relatively simple format) chain

Can someone just like... do that for me. it's so much harder than the second set i could just load in thunderbird and do various sorts on.

don't use the converters you get from googling (they look like they're all for phishing corporate docs), only do this if you're willing to hand-write at least one .eml file, reply so there isn't duplicated labor

nbd if I end up having to do it eventually

I'm going to bed

if you need source to work on, they're https://maia.crimew.gay/posts/the-emails/

(But if you are going to analyze the emails, I implore you to read https://xtramagazine.com/power/detransition-terf-movement-elisa-shupe-247592 first, because it is key context for processing them)

hm.. as far as i can tell from the documentation, pandoc can create pdfs, but not read em

i would rather try with sumatrapdfs mupdf:

(edit: thought it was a sumatrapdf subproject, turns out it is its own :D)

i dont have a machine here to download the torrent, so any work on this from my part will have to wait till after hours ~@666(++)
