What exactly are your trying to parse out? For the MIME headers, each
entry is on a separate line. You can use x = find(':',mime_line) to split
them into key/value pairs. Or if you're looking for a specific value, you
can use x = match("What I\'m looking for",message). Because each email is
so different from any other, and the processing needs are so different
(are you writing a client, a spam filter, or a delivery agent?), the
parsing requirements are going to depend a lot on what your ultimate goal is.
I don't think you're going to find a generic MIME parsing library in any
language; but I'd be happy to answer any questions you have as you write
one for your particular application.

A similar email board as EUforum is. (But potentially I'd
also try to handle attachments.)

That's the point. The parser I wrote is rather simple
though mostly it works fine but in some of the cases
(spec. chars, attachments, etc.) it does not.

Perhaps one of these would work for decoding the attachments:

You'd have to look for the Content-Transfer-Encoding: tag to determine
