Mail.Parse

type message = {

	`headers :(string * string) list;`
	`body :string;`
	`parts :message list;`

}

The type of parsed e-mail messages.

headers is an A-list of pairs (header-name, header-content). header-name is lowercased and includes :, e.g. subject:.
body is the body of the message. Base64 and quoted-printable encodings are already decoded. For multipart messages, body is the initial blurb before the first part.
parts is empty except for multipart messages, in which case it lists all parts, recursively represented as messages.

val parse_message : string -> message

Parse the given textual message and return its structure.

val header : string -> message -> string

header h msg returns the contents of header named h in message msg, or the empty string if this header is missing. Remember that header names are lowercased and include the final :, e.g. subject:.
