It also features\nintegrated GnuPG and S/MIME v3.2 support.\n\nBuilt on top of GObject (the object system used by the [GNOME desktop](https://www.gnome.org)), many developers should find\nits API design and memory management very familiar.\n\n## History\n\nAs a developer and user of Electronic Mail clients, I had come to\nrealize that the vast majority of E-Mail client (and server) software\nhad less-than-satisfactory MIME implementations. More often than not\nthese E-Mail clients created broken MIME messages and/or would\nincorrectly try to parse a MIME message thus subtracting from the full\nbenefits that MIME was meant to provide. GMime is meant to address\nthis issue by following the MIME specification as closely as possible\nwhile also providing programmers with an extremely easy to use\nhigh-level application programming interface (API).\n\n## License Information\n\nThe GMime library is Copyright (C) 2000-2024 Jeffrey Stedfast and is licensed under the LGPL v2.1\n\n    This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or\n    modify it under t",
