Parses Apple Mail.app Emlx Files.
Retrives the actual message, meta information as plist, and the flags of the message.
The actual message is returned as a &[u8] slice in the eml format.
This message part is almost in the eml format, except that
Apple uses LF for linebreaks instead of CRLF. Currently,
emlx has a feature switch (use-email-parser) which enables
a custom fork of the email-parser crate and already parses
the email for you. It can then be found as the email property
on the [Mail] struct.
This feature switch is on by default.
