The C++ library rfc2822 is a collection of Boost.Spirit parsers for e-mail addresses, e-mail headers, and other syntactic constructs commonly found in Internet messages. Older versions of this library, librfc822, consisted of hand-written recursive descent parsers that less powerful had the advantage of being self-contained. Both versions are available for download.
