-
- Yes.
-
- Look in any comp.sources.misc archives and you'll find one written
- in YACC. (posted by me many many moons ago while I was still a
- junior level E-Mail hacker known to the world as `david@ms.uky.edu').
-
- That version has BUGS ('twas before I learned that not all the
- world was a Vax ;-().
-
- A later version is in the FACES distribution. (It was a pleasant surprise
- pulling that code over and finding that YACC grammer in there...) That
- version has most/all the necessary patching to get it working right.
- I don't recall where to get FACES at, but shouting at Archie would
- be a good start ;-).
-
- There's also an RFC822 parser in the IMAP distribution available from
- ftp.cac.washington.edu. Dunno how seperable it is, though.
