Kyatchi - Catch the Mail!
I just launched Kyatchi. It’s essentially a nodejs clone of Mailcatcher. I’ve wanted to build something like Mailcatcher so I built Kyatchi. I think Node is a perfect platform for it, however, it really made me realize how awesome the Mail gem in ruby is (especially after the Rails 3 rewrite). So some parsing and feature set is not quite there yet, but its a fun and clean project so far. Check it out and contribute back if you can.

Oh hey! This is basically what I wanted to turn MailCatcher into eventually, <3 nodejs.
I see you’re not actually breaking down the message into attachments, etc, though. The reason I didn’t originally implement in nodejs is the lack of a comprehensive mail library like @mikel’s excellent mail for ruby. Were you planning on adding support for something like this?
Cheers!
Awesome job on MailCatcher. By the way I totally stole your CSS :) . And MailCatcher is awesome. When you released that, I was like…damn he beat me to it :). But yeah the mail gem in ruby is awesome. I found an smtp library that’s not as comprehensive as the one in ruby but it does the job and is not too complicated to hack.
I am planning on adding support for attachments. One of the first things I wanna fix though is the .eml download. How did you get around that? It seems to me for me the line breaks aren’t being preserved.
