Are there .NET Framework methods to parse an email (MIME)?

Question

Is there a class or set of functions built into the .NET Framework (3.5+) to parse raw emails (MIME documents)?

I am not looking for anything fancy or a separate lib

Answer 1

No, there is no way to do that yet. Microsoft has not created a Text-to-Message convertor just as they haven't created a POP3 or IMAP library. Unfortunate.
