MimeKitLite 2.15.0
MimeKit is an Open Source library for creating and parsing MIME messages. It also supports parsing of Unix mbox files.
Unlike any other .NET MIME parser, MimeKit's parser does not need to parse string input nor does it use a TextReader. Instead, it parses raw byte streams, thus allowing it to better support undeclared 8bit text in headers as well as message bodies. It also means that MimeKit's parser is significantly faster than other .NET MIME parsers.
MimeKit's parser also uses a real tokenizer when parsing the headers rather than regex or string.Split() like most other .NET MIME parsers. This means that MimeKit is much more RFC-compliant than any other .NET MIME parser out there, including the commercial implementations.
In addition to having a far superior parser implementation, MimeKit's object tree is not a derivative of System.Net.Mail objects and thus does not suffer from System.Net.Mail's limitations.

No packages depend on MimeKitLite.
* Use DebugType=full for .NET Framework v4.x. (MailKit issue #1239)
* Added ContentType.ToString(bool encode) and ContentDisposition.ToString(bool encode) convenience methods.
* Changed the public Header.Parse/TryParse APIs to canonicalize header values to end with a newline even if the input string does not. (issue #695)
