*Mime4j* can be used to parse e-mail message streams in plain
link:https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc822[rfc822] and MIME format
and to build a tree representation of an e-mail message.

The parser uses a callback mechanism to report parsing events such as the start of
an entity header, the start of a body. The parser has been designed to be extremely
tolerant against messages violating the standards.

Mime4j can also be used to build a tree representation of an e-mail message via the DOM API.

Simply run `mvn clean install` within this directory to compile the project.

Useful options includes:

- `-DskipTests` to skip the long to execute resource consuming test suite that requires a docker daemon.
- `-T 4` to parallelize the build on several CPUs.
