[mel-base-devel] Hints about "idiomatic" use?

[matthieu.villeneuve at free.fr]

Hello,

I am writing a toy email reader application (to learn CLIM with a
practical example), and I was wondering what is the preferred (or
simplest) way to get emails using MEL-BASE. I have read the manual
included in the distribution, but a few questions remain.

So far I have a POP3 folder, and a kind of "send/receive" command
that fetches all messages from that folder, using the MEL:MESSAGES
function. I can already see the message headers correctly positioned.
Does that look like the right way to start?

Once this is done, it looks like a message can be either a
MEL:RFC2822-BASIC-MESSAGE, or a MEL:MIME-MESSAGE. In both cases, is
there a simple way to get the message body?

Any help is appreciated...
Thanks in advance,
