mimetic A free/GPL C++ MIME Library
mimetic is a free/GPL Email library (MIME) written in C++ designed to be easy to use and integrate but yet fast and efficient. It is based on the C++ standard library and heavily uses templates so require standard compliant C++ compilers. It has been developed using GCC 3.x and tested on most Unixes. mimetic code include some classes that are not strictly needed but are there just to improve performance. Most classes functionalities and behavior will be clear if you ever studied MIME and its components; if you don’t know anything about Internet messages you’ll probably want to read some RFCs to understand the topic and, therefore, easily use the library whose names, whenever possible, overlap terms adopted in the standard RFC documents. At the very least: RFC 822, RFC 2045 and RFC 2046. A more complete list can be found at the Earl Wood’s MIME page.
