Mailparse is an extension for parsing and working with email messages.
It can deal with » RFC 822 and » RFC 2045 (MIME) compliant
messages.
Mailparse is stream based, which means that it does not keep in-memory
copies of the files it processes - so it is very resource efficient when
dealing with large messages.
Note:
Mailparse requires the mbstring
extension, and mbstring must be loaded before mailparse.
This extension has been moved to the
» PECL repository and is no longer bundled with
PHP as of PHP 4.2.0.
