# RFC-822 message manipulation class.
#
# XXX This is only a very rough sketch of a full RFC-822 parser;
# in particular the tokenizing of addresses does not adhere to all the
# quoting 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 Message() constructor:
# m = Message(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.
#
# For addresses and address lists there are functions
# realname, mailaddress = m.getaddr(name) and
# list = m.getaddrlist(name)
# where the latter returns a list of (realname, mailaddr) tuples.
#
# There is also a method
# time = m.getdate(name)
# which parses a Date-like field and returns a time-compatible tuple,
# i.e. a tuple such as returned by time.localtime() or accepted by
# time.mktime().
#
# See the class definition for lower level access methods.
#
# There are also some utility functions here.
