#chunk_size ⇒ Object

Change the chunk size used to read the message. This is useful mostly for testing, so we don’t document it.

Class Method Details

.parse(input, handler) ⇒ Object

Parse a message from an input source. This method returns nothing. Instead, the supplied handler is expected to implement the same methods as RMail::StreamHandler. The message structure can be inferred from the methods called on the handler. The input can be any Ruby IO source or a String.

This is a low level parsing API. For a message parser that returns an RMail::Message object, see the RMail::Parser class. RMail::Parser is implemented using RMail::StreamParser.
