Message.Net

A .NET library for parsing, validating, and serializing Internet message format (message/rfc822) data according to RFC 5322 and MIME (RFC 2045-2049).

Installation

dotnet add package Message.Net

Quick Start

Parsing a Message

using Message;

// Parse from string
var parser = new MessageParser();
var message = parser.Parse(emailText);

// Access headers
Console.WriteLine($"From: {message.From}");
Console.WriteLine($"To: {message.To}");
Console.WriteLine($"Subject: {message.Subject}");
Console.WriteLine($"Date: {message.Date}");

// Access body
if (message.IsMultipart)
{
    foreach (var part in message.Parts)
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"Part: {part.ContentType}");
    }
}
else
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Body: {message.TextBody}");
}

Validating a Message

var validator = new MessageValidator();
var result = validator.Validate(message);

if (result.IsValid)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Message is valid");
}
else
{
    foreach (var error in result.Errors)
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"Error: {error}");
    }
}

Creating a Message

var message = new MessageObject
{
    From = "sender@example.com",
    To = "recipient@example.com",
    Subject = "Hello World",
    Date = DateTimeOffset.Now
};
message.SetTextBody("This is the message body.");

var serializer = new MessageSerializer();
var output = serializer.Serialize(message);

Working with MIME

// Create a multipart message
var message = new MessageObject
{
    From = "sender@example.com",
    To = "recipient@example.com",
    Subject = "Message with attachment"
};

// Add text part
message.AddPart(new MimePart
{
    ContentType = "text/plain",
    Content = "This is the plain text body"
});

// Add HTML part
message.AddPart(new MimePart
{
    ContentType = "text/html",
    Content = "<html><body><h1>Hello</h1></body></html>"
});

// Add attachment
message.AddAttachment("document.pdf", pdfBytes, "application/pdf");

Features

  • Full RFC 5322 Support - Headers, folding, structured fields
  • MIME Support - Multipart messages, encodings, attachments
  • Content-Transfer-Encoding - Base64, Quoted-Printable, 7bit, 8bit
  • Encoded Words (RFC 2047) - Non-ASCII text in headers
  • Validation - Comprehensive validation against specifications
  • Streaming - Parse and serialize large messages efficiently
