Minimail is a collection of functions that parse and produce mailbox files and individual mail messages. It is not a module, although it is also available as the MIME::Mini module on CPAN, if you prefer. It is intended to be compact enough to cut and paste directly into perl scripts that don't want to require non-standard perl modules.
It is intended to be yet another alternative to MIME-tools.
MIME-tools does things that this code doesn't (such as uuencode and
binhex decoding). And minimail does things that MIME-tools
doesn't such as reading and writing mailbox files correctly (repairing
incorrectly formatted ones along the way), and transparently unravelling
winmail.dat attachments (aka MS-TNEF).
Minimail is much smaller (about 3% of the size of
MIME-tools and the other modules it requires, and about 20% of the
size of MIME-Lite (which doesn't parse)), and so takes much less
time during program start up.
Minimail is freely available under the GNU General Public License.
For more information read the manual entry in the Documentation section.
Minimail is written in perl and requires no non-standard modules. It should run on any system with a recent version of perl (v5.14 or later).
There is a manpage.

Note: There is no tarball. The download is the script itself. Just download it and cut and paste what you need into your code.
