===============

### A `StreamStack` subclass that parses raw e-mail messages.

This module implements [RFC 5322][rfc5322]. Specifically, it parses the

e-mail headers into an Object and fires a "headers" events. Then the

body of the message is emitted as 'data' events, and can be `.pipe()`ed

into other [node][Node] `WritableStream` instances.

Usage

-----

``` javascript

var smtp = require('smtp')

var mail = require('mail-stack');

smtp.createServer(function(conn) {

  conn.on('DATA', function(message) {

    message.accepted = true;

    var mailParser = new mail.Parser(message);

    mailParser.on('headers', function(headers) {

      // 'headers' is an Array, with 'key' and 'value' properties

      // for each entry. Duplicate values are handled fine.

      // Header names are also attached directly to the 'headers'

      // object for programmatic convenience:   headers.From  -> '[email protected]'

      console.log(headers);

      // Any 'data' events from the parser are part of the message body.

      mailParser.pipe(process.stdout, {end:false});

    });

  });

});

```
