Thanks for the quick response. However, I was reading this and it referred
to RFC822 as being the standard for internet messages, but this is
apparently obsolete? Also, I could not find a reference to MIME anywhere,
which I thought had something to do with it?
Sorry if I am sounding stupid, but I have not got much experience in this,
hence the request for some resource on the internet to help me out. I have
been searching around on my own, but there seems to be conflicting
references, out of date information, which is all quite confusing. Is there
not a definitive site or something that will explain the internet email
format?
Thanks

news:u4*************@TK2MSFTNGP11.phx.gbl... Hi,
I have just starting development on a basic email client in .NET as a
learning exercise. I have managed to attach to my POP3 server and list,
read emails etc. However, I am not entirely sure of the format of the emails
so that I can write some code to manage them. Could someone point me in the
direction to learn more about this please? I am fairly new to this, so
something not too taxing initially would be great.
Many thanks in advance.
