EPS is a bunch of API for handling email messages.
It does all the analyzing for you, etc. Hands back
structured information on the email peices.
For instance...
To: Joe Test <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
EPS sees this, and returns back a header structure containing
Header name: To
Data: Joe Test <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Atoms: Joe Test <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
EPS also evaluates the email addresses and hands back a linked list
containing
Name: Joe Test
Address: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Name: None
Address: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
It understands headers, message bodies, and attachments.
