"""
Message header parsing utilities for Mail Intake.
---
## Summary
This module provides helper functions for normalizing and extracting
useful information from provider-native message headers.
The functions here are intentionally simple and tolerant of malformed
or incomplete header data.
"""
from typing import Dict, List, Tuple, Optional
def parse_headers(raw_headers: List[Dict[str, str]]) -> Dict[str, str]:
"""
Convert a list of Gmail-style headers into a normalized dict.
Args:
raw_headers (List[Dict[str, str]]):
List of header dictionaries, each containing ``name`` and ``value`` keys.
Returns:
Dict[str, str]:
Dictionary mapping lowercase header names to stripped values.
Notes:
**Guarantees:**
- Provider payloads (such as Gmail) typically represent headers as a list of name/value mappings
- This function normalizes them into a case-insensitive dictionary keyed by lowercase header names
Example:
Typical usage:
Input:
[
{"name": "From", "value": "John Doe <john@example.com>"},
{"name": "Subject", "value": "Re: Interview Update"},
]
Output:
{
"from": "John Doe <john@example.com>",
"subject": "Re: Interview Update",
}
"""

for header in raw_headers or []:
name = header.get("name")

if not name or value is None:
continue
headers[name.lower()] = value.strip()

def extract_sender(headers: Dict[str, str]) -> Tuple[str, Optional[str]]:
"""
Extract sender email and optional display name from headers.
Args:
headers (Dict[str, str]):
Normalized header dictionary as returned by :func:`parse_headers`.
Returns:
Tuple[str, Optional[str]]:
A tuple ``(email, name)`` where ``email`` is the sender email address and ``name`` is the display name, or ``None`` if unavailable.
Notes:
**Responsibilities:**
- This function parses the ``From`` header and attempts to extract sender email address and optional human-readable display name
Example:
Typical values:
``"John Doe <john@example.com>"`` -> ``("john@example.com", "John Doe")``
``"john@example.com"`` -> ``("john@example.com", None)``
