mail

Overview ¶

Package mail implements parsing of mail messages.

For the most part, this package follows the syntax as specified by RFC 5322 and extended by RFC 6532. Notable divergences:

• Obsolete address formats are not parsed, including addresses with embedded route information.
• The full range of spacing (the CFWS syntax element) is not supported, such as breaking addresses across lines.
• No unicode normalization is performed.
• The special characters ()[]:;@\, are allowed to appear unquoted in names.
