Mail is an internet library for Ruby that is designed to handle emails
|
|
generation, parsing and sending in a simple, rubyesque manner.
|
|
|
|
The purpose of this library is to provide a single point of access to handle
|
|
all email functions, including sending and receiving emails. All network
|
|
type actions are done through proxy methods to Net::SMTP, Net::POP3 etc.
|
|
|
|
Built from my experience with TMail, it is designed to be a pure ruby
|
|
implementation that makes generating, sending and parsing emails a no
|
|
brainer.
|
|
|
|
It is also designed form the ground up to work with Ruby 1.9. This is because
|
|
Ruby 1.9 handles text encodings much more magically than Ruby 1.8.x and so
|
|
these features have been taken full advantage of in this library allowing
|
|
Mail to handle a lot more messages more cleanly than TMail. Mail does run on
|
|
Ruby 1.8.x... it's just not as fun to code.
|
|
|
|
Finally, Mail has been designed with a very simple object oriented system
|
|
that really opens up the email messages you are parsing, if you know what
|
|
you are doing, you can fiddle with every last bit of your email directly.
