NAME

6       MailTools - bundle of ancient email modules
7

SYNOPSIS

9        # This is a place-holder for the distribution
10

DESCRIPTION

12       MailTools is a bundle: an ancient form of combining packages into one
13       distribution.  Gladly, it can be distributed as if it is a normal
14       distribution as well.
15
16       Be warned: The code you find here is very old.  It works for simple
17       emails, but when you start with new code then please use more
18       sofisticated libraries.  The main reason that you still find this code
19       on CPAN, is because many books use it as example.
20
21   Component
22       In this distribution, you find
23
24       Mail::Address
25           Parse email address from a header line.
26
27       Mail::Cap
28           Interpret mailcap files: mappings of file-types to applications as
29           used by many command-line email programs.
30
31       Mail::Field
32           Simplifies access to (some) email header fields.  Used by

40           Mail::Internet object.

43           Represents a single email message, with header and body.

47
