Description:
------------
This extension supposed to be efficient. How come we cannot pass an already existing string to mailparse_uudecode_all() and instead required to pass a file resource?

If I already store the contents of an email message as a string $strRawMessage, I am then required to go through these unnecessary steps:

$fp = tmpfile();
fwrite($fp, $strRawMessage);

$arrData = mailparse_uudecode_all($fp); 
		
fclose($fp);

This is very inefficient.

Please allow us to pass a string instead of file resource.

this function accepts any stream type, so have you considered using something like php://memory or php://temp options so you don't go to disk? see: http://us.php.net/manual/en/wrappers.php.php. 

I believe the original intent here was probably to work on file sizes that exceeded the available memory, hence making streams the more efficient choice for processing.

Given that there was no further feedback for more than ten years,
that the mailparse extension is barely maintained, and that it is
indeed possible to use a stream wrapper (besides php://memory,
data:// may also be an option), I'm closing this request as
WONTFIX.
