types and parser for email messages (including MIME)

The purebred email library. RFC 5322, MIME, etc. See Data.MIME for usage, examples and API documentation.

This is a general-purpose library for processing and constructing email messages, originally written to meet the needs of purebred MUA. Transmission and delivery of mail are not part of this library, but purebred-email could be a useful building block for such systems.

Features and implemented specifications include:

  • RFC 5322 message parsing and serialisation

  • MIME multipart messages (RFC 2046)

  • Convenient APIs for replying and forward/bounce

  • Content transfer and charset decoding/encoding

  • MIME message header extensions for non-ASCII text (RFC 2047)

  • MIME parameter value and encoded word extensions (RFC 2231)

  • Content-Disposition header field (RFC 2183)

  • Address syntax in From and Sender fields (RFC 6854)
