153
154       $obj->escapedBody()
155           Mbox folders contain multiple messages in one file, using a
156           separator line to keep them apart.  Typically, these lines start
157           with "From ".  Lines within the message could interfere with this
158           separator, and should therefore be translated.
159
160           This method will return the escaped text of the body as reference.
161
162       $obj->folder( [$folder] )
163           Inherited, see "The message" in Mail::Box::Message
164
165       $obj->fromLine( [$line] )
166           Many people detest file-style folders because they store messages
167           all in one file, where a line starting with "From " leads the
168           header.  If we receive a message from a file-based folder, we store
169           that line.  If we write to such a file, but there is no such line
170           stored, then we try to generate one.
171
172           If $line is provided, then the starting line is set to this value.

202           Inherited, see "The message" in Mail::Message
203
204       $obj->write( [$fh] )
205           Write one message to a file handle.  It is the message including
206           the leading 'From ' line and trailing blank.  The From-line may
207           interfere with lines in the body: those lines are escaped with an
208           extra '>'.
209
210           example:
211
212            $msg->write(\*FILE);    # print the message with encaps to FILE
213            $msg->write;            # message with encaps to selected filehandle
214            $msg->print(\*FILE);    # the message without encaps.

DIAGNOSTICS

443       Error: Cannot coerce a $class object into a $class object
444       Error: Cannot include forward source as $include.
445           Unknown alternative for the forward(include).  Valid choices are
446           "NO", "INLINE", "ATTACH", and "ENCAPSULATE".
447
448       Error: Cannot include reply source as $include.
449           Unknown alternative for the "include" option of reply().  Valid
450           choices are "NO", "INLINE", and "ATTACH".
451
452       Error: Method bounce requires To, Cc, or Bcc
453           The message bounce() method forwards a received message off to
454           someone else without modification; you must specified it's new
455           destination.  If you have the urge not to specify any destination,
456           you probably are looking for reply(). When you wish to modify the
457           content, use forward().
458
459       Error: Method forwardAttach requires a preamble
460       Error: Method forwardEncapsulate requires a preamble
461       Error: No address to create forwarded to.
462           If a forward message is created, a destination address must be
463           specified.
464
465       Error: No default mailer found to send message.
466           The message send() mechanism had not enough information to
467           automatically find a mail transfer agent to sent this message.
468           Specify a mailer explicitly using the "via" options.
469
470       Error: No rebuild rule $name defined.
471       Error: Only build() Mail::Message's; they are not in a folder yet
472           You may wish to construct a message to be stored in a some kind of
473           folder, but you need to do that in two steps.  First, create a
474           normal Mail::Message, and then add it to the folder.  During this
475           Mail::Box::addMessage() process, the message will get coerce()-d
476           into the right message type, adding storage information and the
477           like.
478
479       Error: Package $package does not implement $method.
480           Fatal error: the specific package (or one of its superclasses) does
481           not implement this method where it should. This message means that
482           some other related classes do implement this method however the
483           class at hand does not.  Probably you should investigate this and
484           probably inform the author of the package.
485
486       Error: Unable to read delayed body.
487       Error: coercion starts with some object
