Newsprint: Turning e-mail newsletters into a personal PDF

A Python package called newsprint converts starred email newsletters into a single PDF for offline reading, stripping out promotional content and unnecessary images, adding a table of contents, page footers, and paper-size options. It can optionally use a Claude API key to summarize the collected newsletters and generate a personalized summary page (for example, flagging datasets relevant to the author's own newsletter). Starred messages are 'retired' after being included but can be un-retired if needed, and the whole workflow is configurable via command line or config file. The package is available on PyPI.
