While introspecting the mbox format, it would be nice to know what keys are available to query the headers. (to, from, etc are pretty obvious and standard, but other headers may be custom inserted by other clients, etc., so it's nice to have a handy dynamic reference of the keys available from a given message.)
here is the idea quick and dirty as a refinement:
class Mbox::Mail::Headers
def keys
@data.keys.map(&:to_sym).sort
end
end
and an example of the output from iterating over messages from a gmail mbox export:
[1] pry(main)> m.headers.keys
=> [:authentication_results,
:content_length,
:content_type,
:date,
:delivered_to,
:dkim_signature,
:from,
:in_reply_to,
:message_id,
:mime_version,
:received,
:received_spf,
:references,
:reply_to,
:return_path,
:subject,
:to,
:x_gm_thrid,
:x_gmail_labels,
:x_received,
:x_yahoo_newman_id,
:x_yahoo_newman_property,
:x_ymail_osg]
Once I know the header keys, I can take advantage of the overloaded [] operator thus:
[2] pry(main)> m.headers[:date]
=> "Sun, 16 Aug 2015 13:08:26 +0000 (UTC)"
no time to add a pull request for this now, but maybe later.
