DIMime
Overview
DIMime consists of two core functions, MimeEncode() and MimeDecode(), both written in optimized Pascal and faster than most assembler code. They have a simple but flexible interface which makes it easy to use them with memory buffers, strings, or other types of data. Additional helper functions are available to convert, among others, streams of practically unlimited size.
The decoder is very error tolerant and does about spaces, line-breaks, or incomplete data, which are sometimes encountered in e-mail messages.
The DIMime package contains full source code and HTML Help documentation. It has also been incorporated into the Jedi Code Library (JCL).
