"Email Message"

email_message is a library that defines types that represent an RFC2822 email.

Parsing an email

You can use Email.of_string to parse an email (e.g. from a ".eml" file).

Once you have your hands on an Email.t, you can use various functions in the Email.Simple and Email modules to inspect parts of the email. For example:

• Email.Simple.subject : the subject of the email

• Email.Simple.from : the From header sender of the email

• Email.headers : all the email headers

• Email.Simple.all_attachments the email attachments

Constructing an email

The Email.Simple module exposes various functions for constructing an email. For example:

Email.Simple.create
  ~from:(Email_address.of_string "sender@example.com")
  ~to_:[ (Email_address.of_string "recipient@example.com") ]
  ~subject:"Example email"
  (Email.Simple.Content.text_utf8 "This is an example email.")
