= RubyMail is now maintained elsewhere
Antonio Terceiro has kindly taken ownership of this package at
https://github.com/terceiro/rmail.
This repository exists for historical interest only. If you like, take a
look at the "historical" branch for the very beginnings, almost 20 years
ago as I write this!
= RubyMail
This is RubyMail, a lightweight mail library containing various
utility classes and modules that allow Ruby scripts to parse,
modify, and generate MIME mail messages.
= Requirements
Ruby 1.6.7 (or newer) or Ruby 1.8.*. Only tested under Linux, should
be fine under any Unix.
= Documentation
The documentation is in RDoc format in the doc subdirectory. Aside
from the API reference, you will be interested in guide/Intro.txt and
guide/TableOfContents.txt.
= Install
Type the following while in the package directory:
ruby install.rb config
ruby install.rb setup
ruby install.rb install
You may need special permissions to execute the last line. If you
want to just install RubyMail to a custom location, just copy the
rmail subdirectory manually.
= Status
This package works well, but I consider all API subject to change.
I very much appreciate suggestions and comments, but please think
twice about using this for production use just yet.
= Tests?
This package has a complete unit test suite (requires RubyUnit to
run). Currently all of my e-mail is processed by this library.
= Why?
It is fun.
One use for RubyMail is the RubyFilter package, available at:
http://www.lickey.com/rubyfilter/
= Alternatives
You might check out TMail as well.
= Support
