E-Mail parse library?

C

cgiatras

I wanted to know if there was a C library out there to parse e-mails /
attachments?

what I am trying to do is an e-mail is sent to (e-mail address removed) and
that will be sent to this c program. It will parse out the attachments
in the e-mail (mainly pictures, and video).

thanks,

Kosta

How will this program work? If it is intercepting emails before you see
them, then you need to write a daemon. You'll need to leave standard C
to do that, so try one of the comp.networking groups.

Your current email program should have the capability you are trying to
make.

Why would this require a daemon?
It sounds like the requirements are similar to the way Unix's procmail
is invoked on a per-user basis, and that does not require a daemon.

Get and read the various RFCs specifying the format of email and
attachments. They are all just text files with appropriate
conventions. Then write code to do whatever you want.
