 Finally, Mail has been designed with a very simple object oriented system
 that really opens up the email messages you are parsing, if you know what
 you are doing, you can fiddle with every last bit of your email directly.

+Mail supports Ruby 2.5+, including JRuby and TruffleRuby.

+As new versions of Ruby are released, Mail will be compatible with support for the "preview" and all "normal maintenance", "security maintenance" and the two most recent "end of life" versions listed at the [Ruby Maintenance Branches](https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/branches/) page.  Pull requests to assist in adding support for new preview releases are more than welcome.
