My coding knowledge is limited to barely editing existing code :). Everything I was doing is with no code, similar to what the article is about.

But yeah if there were a zap for .eml->.txt or to grab text from inside an email’s attachment the whole thing would take 1 step.

Often times without coding you have to take roundabout ways to accomplish something, but as long as it’s not slow and won’t break it doesn’t really matter.
