The original Enron email dataset was taken from https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~./enron/enron_mail_20150507.tgz. This is an archive of all Enron emails in EML format, where each file represents one email message. Some of these messages are duplicated in multiple files.
The parse_email_files.js script will parse the original Enron email dataset into
JSON files, after de-duplicating them.
The included dataset.tgz file is archive of exactly these JSON files.
