Mime4Net is email and MIME parser (C#, VB.Net component) that works under .NET environment an can be easily integrated into your application. This component builds a tree representation of an e-mail message and allows you easily navigate message structure.

Mime4Net automatically handles the decoding of fields and bodies and can be used to extract attachments. Like no other component it is extremely tolerant against messages violating the standards!

Compatibility and standards supporting

Mime4Net offers 100% compatibility with RFC822 (Standard for ARPA Internet Text Messages), MIME RFCs 2045-2049, RFC2822.

The Mime4Net library supports parsing of improperly formatted Mime messages as well. This is very important feature because of many different programs doesn't support complete RFC standards and create incorrect message structure.
