A simple RFC2822 email parser

README for smail

SMail is a very lightweight email library, based on Perl's Email::Simple.

It implements the minimal functions to enable the easy creation or parsing of an email message that conforms to RFC 2822.

It is intended to be the first of a family of SMail::* modules that will deal with many common email standards.

It is still a work in progress and the interface may change.

Download & Install

sudo gem install mwalker-smail--source http://gems.github.com
