MimeKitLite 2.5.2
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 (more than 25x faster than OpenPOP.NET and over 100x faster than AE.Net.Mail and MailSystem.NET).
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 massive limitations or bugs.

No packages depend on MimeKitLite.
* Updated net46, net47, and net48 builds to reference Portable.BouncyCastle instead of the standard BouncyCastle package, just like the netstandard builds. (issue #540)
* Fixed extraction of TNEF EmbeddedMessage attachment data to skip the leading GUID. (issue #538)
* Added a few more TNEF property tags.
* Fixed the HtmlEntityDecoder to require some named attributes to end with a `;`.
