package mail

import "net/mail"

Package mail implements parsing of mail messages.

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

• Obsolete address formats are not parsed, including addresses with embedded route information.
• Group addresses are not parsed.
• The full range of spacing (the CFWS syntax element) is not supported, such as breaking addresses across lines.

Types ¶

type Address ¶

type Address struct {
	Name    string // Proper name; may be empty.
	Address string // user@domain
}

Address represents a single mail address. An address such as "Barry Gibbs <bg@example.com>" is represented as Address{Name: "Barry Gibbs", Address: "bg@example.com"}.

func ParseAddress ¶

func ParseAddress(address string) (*Address, error)

Parses a single RFC 5322 address, e.g. "Barry Gibbs <bg@example.com>"

func ParseAddressList ¶

func ParseAddressList(list string) ([]*Address, error)

ParseAddressList parses the given string as a list of addresses.

func (*Address) String ¶

func (a *Address) String() string

String formats the address as a valid RFC 5322 address. If the address's name contains non-ASCII characters the name will be rendered according to RFC 2047.

type Header ¶

type Header map[string][]string

A Header represents the key-value pairs in a mail message header.

func (Header) AddressList ¶

func (h Header) AddressList(key string) ([]*Address, error)

AddressList parses the named header field as a list of addresses.

func (Header) Date ¶

func (h Header) Date() (time.Time, error)

Date parses the Date header field.

func (Header) Get ¶

func (h Header) Get(key string) string

Get gets the first value associated with the given key. If there are no values associated with the key, Get returns "".

type Message ¶

type Message struct {
	Header Header
	Body   io.Reader
}

A Message represents a parsed mail message.

func ReadMessage ¶

func ReadMessage(r io.Reader) (msg *Message, err error)

ReadMessage reads a message from r. The headers are parsed, and the body of the message will be available for reading from r.
