Hi Rolf,

three of my programs, which are used by many people, contain code that
checks whether a file has a valid e-mail _header_. Search for "mbox" in
the archives. The concerning functions are
     read_mail_header()   and   looks_like_mail_header()
in the file "mail.e". Pretty simple, but works very well for the purpose
of the programs.

However, I don't have code that checks whether attachments or other
MIME parts in the body of a mail are syntactically correct. Nor do I
know a free program that does so.

Regards,
