Description

It would be very nice with a RFC 822 parser

MXtoolbox has a nice one, if one could be made like this but with the same layout as IPv4 Header parser or UDP parser..

Thanks

Research direction
Examine the existing IPv4 Header parser and UDP parser implementations in CyberChef to understand the pattern. Identify the recipe structure and how to add a new parser. Research RFC 822 email header format to determine which fields to parse. Look into the 'Operations' directory for similar parsers. Consider the MXtoolbox website for desired output layout.
