Very cool; mail handling is an area where Ruby needs work.
One question: Does it properly quote non-ASCII characters in mail headers? That's been a big pain point for me over the years, which I fixed by being lazy and using Javamail.
Good names for mail gems are hard to come by; my Javamail wrapper for JRuby ended up going through four different names because Mail, Mailer, Postman and Postal were all taken (we finally called the damn thing Postinius).
I'll at least offer my suggestion for a name; what about 'Takkyu'? Takkyubin is a very famous delivery service over here in Japan.
- Titanous 16y agoIt uses the Mail gem to do all the parsing, and I think that it handles non-ASCII just fine. http://github.com/mikel/mail/ http://github.com/mikel/mail/
- donw 16y agoAh, RFC2822 is new in the past six months, then. If he's fixed the email address parsing bugs, then I have a lot less work to do now. :)
