module Net::IMAP::BodyStructure
Net::IMAP::BodyStructure is included by all of the structs that can be returned from a "BODYSTRUCTURE" or "BODY" FetchData#attr value. Although these classes don’t share a base class, this module can be used to pattern match all of them.
See [IMAP4rev1] §7.4.2 and [IMAP4rev2] §7.5.2 for full description of all BODYSTRUCTURE fields, and also Message envelope and body structure at Net::IMAP for other relevant RFCs.
