To parse and extract MIME headers from an email message in Go, you can use the net/mail
package. Here's an example:
package main
import (
"fmt"
"io/ioutil"
"net/mail"
)
func main() {
// Read the email message from a file or any other source
emailContent, err := ioutil.ReadFile("email.eml")
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("Failed to read email:", err)
return
}
// Parse the email
message, err := mail.ReadMessage(emailContent)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("Failed to parse email:", err)
return
}
// Extract the MIME headers
headers := message.Header
for key, values := range headers {
// If there are multiple values for a header, they will be returned as a slice
for _, value := range values {
fmt.Printf("%s: %s\n", key, value)
}
}
}
In this example, we read the email content from a file using ioutil.ReadFile
, then we pass the content to mail.ReadMessage
to parse the email. The ReadMessage
function returns a *mail.Message
object that contains the message's MIME headers.
We can then access the headers using the Header
field of the Message
object. It returns a mail.Header
object, which is essentially a map of string keys to slices of string values. We iterate over the headers and their values to print them out.
Make sure to replace "email.eml"
with the actual path or source of your email message.
