mime4j provides a parser, MimeStreamParser, fore-mail message streams in plain RFC822 and MIMEformat. The parser uses a callback mechanism toreport parsing events such as the start of anentity header, the start of a body, etc. If youare familiar with the SAX XML parser interface youshould have no problem getting started withmime4j. The parser only deals with the structureof the message stream and won't do any decoding ofbase64 or quoted-printable encoded header fieldsand bodies. This is intentional - the parsershould only provide the most basic functionalityneeded to build more complex parsers.
