rfc2822 parser for go

[Eric Evans]

I recently wrote a parser for RFC 2822 formatted messages, which can
be found here:

https://github.com/eevans/rfc2822

This is my first project in Go, so any feedback would be very appreciated.

Thanks!

Have you seen the new mail package?

http://code.google.com/p/go/source/detail?r=eeec101009c3#

Notice that it just uses the "textproto" package's reader, which has a "ReadMIMEHeader" method.  Anyway, you might want to contribute to mail if you need additional functionality.

Btw, RFCs are often updated & replaced with new RFCs.  Naming a package with a number will date it quickly, like my brother's Twitter handle with his birth year at the end.  :-)

No, I wasn't aware of this. Thanks.

Strange how both packages don't use ebnf. Read the subject and
thought I could see a good example of ebnf usage, given that the
format is defined in EBNF.

The ebnf package is pretty useless as long as the grammar can not be
used to build a parser.

Well, so long as your brother's birth year never changes ...
