emailMIME

emailMIME is a Python library that provides tools for creating, parsing, and manipulating email messages according to the Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) standard. MIME is a set of rules for formatting non-ASCII text messages, such as those containing images, audio, and video, and for representing different character sets within email. The emailMIME library allows developers to easily construct complex email messages with various parts, including plain text, HTML, attachments, and embedded objects.

The library's core functionality includes classes for representing different MIME types, such as multipart messages, which are used to combine multiple parts into a single email. It also handles the encoding and decoding of message bodies, ensuring that data is transmitted correctly across different email systems. Users can specify the content type, content transfer encoding, and other headers for each part of an email. Furthermore, emailMIME can parse incoming email messages, extracting their components and making them accessible for programmatic processing. This capability is essential for applications that need to read and act upon email content, such as automated responders or email processing systems. The library aims to simplify the complexities of email formatting and interoperability.
