rfc822

In my iPhone app, I'm handed the raw source of an email, in RFC822 (or "eml") format. I'd like the HTML part of this message (if one exists).

Rather than attempting to parse it out myself and converting escape chars and so on, I thought I'd check to see if anyone knows of an objective-c library to do this for me.

In .NET, I've always used the Mailbee classes for anything email related, but I can't seem to find anything similar for cocoa.
