# MEDecodedMessage

An object that contains the RFC 2822 data for a message, without encryption or digital signatures.

```
class MEDecodedMessage
```

## Overview

When MailKit invokes your message security handler’s [`decodedMessage(forMessageData:)`](/documentation/MailKit/MEMessageDecoder/decodedMessage(forMessageData:)) method, you decode the message data and return an instance of [`MEDecodedMessage`](/documentation/MailKit/MEDecodedMessage) that contains unencrypted MIME data.

## Topics

### Decoding Messages

[`rawData`](/documentation/MailKit/MEDecodedMessage/rawData)

The decoded MIME data for a message.

[`securityInformation`](/documentation/MailKit/MEDecodedMessage/securityInformation)

An object that contains encryption and digital signature information about the message content.
