** Tools **


   [http://www.oche.de/~akupries/soft/mail/mime.html%|%MIME], by [Marshall T. Rose]:   served as the bases for [Tcllib%|%Tcllib's] [Tcllib MIME%|%MIME] package

   [Mime File Attachment Extractor]:   



** Misc **

RFC822 items can be big, and correspondingly expensive to manipulate.  tcllib's
mime package parses any presented item completely.  What if one only wants,
say, the "Subject:" of the item, while needing performance?  In principle,
there ought to be a "lazy" evaluation that intelligently scans the few header
lines necessary to determine this value.

A comp.lang.tcl thread [[anyone have a reference here?] discusses this.  One
highlight is that [Don Libes]'s "[mail notification tools (i.e., biff)]" page
on tkbiff points to code which directly models such a requirement.

[AMG]: MIME is also the Militant Internet Mail Enthusiasts [http://waste.org/mime/].  This is apparently just a humorous page with technical resources for email such as links to (older) RFCs.
