### e_mail_parser_extension_parse ()

    gboolean
    e_mail_parser_extension_parse (EMailParserExtension *extension,
                                   EMailParser *parser,
                                   CamelMimePart *mime_part,
                                   GString *part_id,
                                   GCancellable *cancellable,
                                   GQueue *out_mail_parts);

A virtual function reimplemented in all mail parser extensions. The function decodes and parses the `mime_part` , appending one or more EMailParts to the `out_mail_parts` queue.

When the function is unable to parse the `mime_part` (either because it's broken or because it is a different MIME type then the extension is specialized for), the function will return `FALSE` to indicate to the EMailParser that it should pick another extension.

When the `mime_part` contains for example multipart/mixed of one RFC822 message with an attachment and of one image, then parser must make sure that parts are appeded to `out_mail_parts` in the correct order.

part1.rfc822.plain_text part1.rfc822.attachment part2.image

Implementation of this function must be thread-safe.

#### Parameters

extension | an EMailParserExtension |
parser | an EMailParser |
mime_part | (allow-none) a CamelMimePart to parse |
part_id | a GString to which parser will append ID of the parsed part. |
cancellable | (allow-none) A GCancellable |
out_mail_parts | a GQueue to deposit EMailPart instances |

#### Returns

`TRUE` if the `mime_part` was handled (even if no EMailParts were added to `out_mail_parts` ), or `FALSE` if the `mime_part` was not handled
