# 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.
