Please tell me if I should just go away or go to another list here.

How about libraries@haskell.org?

Fair enough. Will do.

Your comments (and edits! -- must register/login first) are welcome.

About Text.ParserCombinators.Parsec.RFC2234 and the like. Although I can't see what this code does (no links on the wiki, and port 70 is firewalled here), I would be prepared to bet that you do not in fact define any new combinators for parsing. What you have there is a parser

Here's a snippet: This module provides parsers for the grammar defined in RFC2234, "Augmented BNF for Syntax Specifications: ABNF", http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2234.html. The terminal called char in the RFC is called character here to avoid conflicts with Parsec's char function. alpha :: CharParser st Char bit :: CharParser st Char character :: CharParser st Char cr :: CharParser st Char This one is not email-specific. The other two are. (BTW, they were written by Peter Simons)

for a specific little language. Even if it is implemented using parsec combinators, it does not belong with them.

Alternative suggestions: Language.RFC2234.Parse Language.ABNF.RFC2234.Parse Network.SMTP.RFC2821.Parse Network.Email.RFC2822.Parse

Does the above suggest a single good place for them to you? -- John
