Mbox-Readers

Mbox-Readers

[oliver]

Hello,

are there mbox-Libraries around?

If not: a while ago I wrote something that
was meant as a library for reading mbox-files.
But I have not worked on that code for a long time.

I did just some matching with ocamllex to split the mails,
and then worked on strings.
The stuff needs to be rewritten, because I used Str-Lib,
and would prefer Pcre, but maybe that also is not a good idea....

So... do I need UTF-8 parsing? Is there something in ocamlnet,
what I should use?

Are there encodings which I might also have to handle?
And if so: which? And what library to use for it?
I think even Pcre might not match my needs here?


Ciao,
   Oliver

P.S.: And: what kind of License would make sense? LGPL3?

You can have a look at:
https://forge.ocamlcore.org/scm/viewvc.php/trunk/mbox.ml?view=markup&revision=11&root=spamoracle

There are other files in the repository that can maybe match other
requirements.

This is not a complete mbox-reader but it can help you on some points
(at least to see what other people have done). You can use it as an
helper to write your own.

In doubt, I recommend LGPL 2.1 with OCaml linking exception.
