Hi All,
I just found this (seemingly) awesome new mail handling library. I
know that rmail has lots of flaws and there has been previously
expressed sentiment that something better might be nice. Have a look
at:
http://github.com/mikel/mail
I just whipped up a quick little script that uses it and it's quite
nice. It pulls in actionsupport, so it's not a lightweight gem by any
means.
HTH.

If it's maintained in the least then it's probaby better than rmail, but
if Sup started require activesupport I would jump off a bridge.

but it is listed in the gemspec
s.add_dependency('activesupport', ">= 2.3.6")

...and was definitely pulled in when I installed the gem. As I said,
it's more heavy weight, but it is very nice to use so far.

Neither of those even resemble a reliable method of checking whether or not the
thing actually uses activesupport. :P
$ pwd
/home/pi/mail
$ egrep -ir require.\*active .
./lib/mail.rb: require 'active_support'
./lib/mail.rb: require 'active_support/core_ext/hash/indifferent_access'
./lib/mail.rb: require 'active_support/core_ext/object/blank'
./lib/mail.rb: require 'active_support/core_ext/string'
There you have it.

Several recent languages have adopted an Intercal-like, asynchronous, computed
COME-FROM concept. Only they refer to it with funny terms like "exception
handling". -- Hans Mulder
