SMail::MIME is an extention of the SMail gem to handle MIME encoded email. It is based on Perl's Email::MIME.

It implements the minimal functions to enable the easy creation or parsing of a MIME email message that conforms to the relevant RFCs.

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

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

email = SMail::MIME.new(text)

from_header = email.header("From")
received = email.headers("Received")

email.header_set("From", "matthew@walker.wattle.id.au")

old_body = email.body
email.body = "Hello World!\nMatthew"

print email.to_s
