Gaggle
======

[](#gaggle)

Gaggle is an overly simplistic, insecure, and very feature-incomplete email library for creating a raw email message.

Usage
=====

[](#usage)

You're best bet is to check the tests/examples to see usage, as I'm awful at documentation. In all honesty, you should use a better email lib for anything you want to take seriously.

Installation
============

[](#installation)

Install the [Packagist archive](https://packagist.org/packages/henderjon/gaggle)using [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/). I will *generally* respect [Semantic Versioning](http://semver.org/). Learn about how Composer does [versions](https://getcomposer.org/doc/01-basic-usage.md#package-versions).

*Note the absense of v1.0*

```
{
	"require" : {
		"henderjon/gaggle": "dev-master"
	}
}

```

TODO
====

[](#todo)

There is no security or safety features of any kind. These might not be a bad idea to add.

There are no transport layers. I built this to be used with AWS SES::SendRawEmail(). Someday when I have time, I might try to build this out enough to use a different protocol (e.g. SMTP).
