+mess822 is a library for parsing Internet mail messages. The mess822
+package contains several applications that work with qmail:
+
+* ofmipd rewrites messages from dumb clients. It supports a database
+ of recognized senders and From lines, using cdb for fast lookups.
+
+* new-inject is an experimental new version of qmail-inject. It
+ includes a flexible user-controlled hostname rewriting mechanism.
+
+* iftocc can be used in .qmail files. It checks whether a known
+ address is listed in To or Cc.
+
+* 822header, 822field, 822date, and 822received extract various
+ pieces of information from a mail message.
+
+* 822print converts a message into an easier-to-read format.
+
+mess822 supports the full complexity of RFC 822 address lists,
+including address groups, source routes, spaces around dots, etc.
+It also supports common RFC 822 extensions: backslashes in atoms,
+dots in phrases, addresses without host names, etc. It extracts
+each address as an easy-to-use string, with a separate string for
+the accompanying comment.
