Lib/rfc822.py

+# RFC-822 message manipulation class.
+#
+# XXX This is only a very rough sketch of a full RFC-822 parser;
+# additional methods are needed to parse addresses and dates, and to
+# tokenize lines according to various other syntax rules.
+#
+# Directions for use:
+#
+# To create a Message object: first open a file, e.g.:
+#   fp = open(file, 'r')
+# (or use any other legal way of getting an open file object, e.g. use
+# sys.stdin or call os.popen()).
+# Then pass the open file object to the init() method of Message:
+#   m = Message().init(fp)
+#
+# To get the text of a particular header there are several methods:
+#   str = m.getheader(name)
+#   str = m.getrawheader(name)
+# where name is the name of the header, e.g. 'Subject'.
+# The difference is that getheader() strips the leading and trailing
+# whitespace, while getrawheader() doesn't.  Both functions retain
+# embedded whitespace (including newlines) exactly as they are
+# specified in the header, and leave the case of the text unchanged.
+#
+# See the class definition for lower level access methods.
+#
+# There are also some utility functions here.
