MIME::Mini - Minimal code to parse/create mbox files and mail messages
MIME::Mini is a small perl module containing a collection of functions that parse and/or create mailbox (mbox) files and individual mail messages.
It is an alternative to MIME-tools. MIME-tools does things that this
module doesn't (such as uuencode and binhex decoding). And this module does
things that MIME-tools doesn't do, such as reading and writing mbox files
(repairing incorrectly formatted ones along the way), and transparently
unravelling winmail.dat
attachments (aka MS-TNEF).
It is very small (about 3% of the size of MIME-tools and the other modules that it requires, and about 20% of the size of I (which doesn't parse)), so it takes much less time during program start up. This makes it more suitable for uses that require a separate process for each mail message, such as in procmail recipes.
