parse(content)

Specs

parse(binary() | nonempty_maybe_improper_list()) :: Mail.Message.t()

parse_recipient_value(value)

Specs

parse_recipient_value(value :: String.t()) :: [
  {String.t(), String.t()} | String.t()
]

Retrieves the "name" and "address" parts from an email message recipient (To, CC, etc.). The following is an example of recipient value:

Full Name <fullname@company.tld>, another@company.tld

In this example, Full Name is the "name" part and fullname@company.tld is the "address" part. another@company.tld does not have a "name" part, only an "address" part.

The return value is a mixed list of tuples and strings, which should be interpreted in the following way:

When the element is just a string, it represents the "address" part only
When the element is a tuple, the format is {name, address}. Both "name" and "address" are strings
