SYNOPSIS

14        !!! BETA !!!
15
16        # change
17        use Mail::Internet;
18        # into
19        use Mail::Message::Replace::MailInternet;
20        # in existing code, and the code should still work, but
21        # with the Mail::Message features.
22

DESCRIPTION

24       This module is a wrapper around a Mail::Message, which simulates a
25       Mail::Internet object.  The name-space of that module is hijacked and
26       many methods are added.
27
28       Most methods will work without any change, but you may need to have a
29       look at your smtpsend() and send() calls.
30
31       Extends "DESCRIPTION" in Mail::Message.

METHODS

41           Inherited, see "Constructors" in Mail::Message
42
43       $obj->dup()
44           Duplicate the message.  The result will again be a Mail::Internet
45           compatible object.
46
47       $obj->empty()
48           Remove all data from this object.  Very dangerous!

79             The Mail::Header object, which is passed here, is a fake one as

317
318       $obj->send($type, %options)
319           Send via Mail Transfer Agents (MUA).  These will be handled by

332   The header
333       Extends "The header" in Mail::Message.
334
335       $obj->add(\@lines)
336           Add header lines, which simply calls "Mail::Message::Head::add()"

338           returned.

357           returned.
358
359           BE WARNED: if no $name is specified, the "delete" is interpreted as
360           the deletion of the message in a folder, so
361           Mail::Box::Message::delete() will be called.  This may have no
362           negative effect at all...

381           Get all the header fields with the specified $name.  In scalar
382           context, only the first fitting $name is returned.  Even when only
383           one $name is specified, multiple lines may be returned: some fields
384           appear more than once in a header.  Calls
385           Mail::Message::Replace::MailHeader::get()
386
387       $obj->guessTimestamp()
388           Inherited, see "The header" in Mail::Message
389
390       $obj->head( [$head] )
391           Returns the head of the message, or creates an empty one if none is
392           defined.  The $head argument, which sets the header, is not
393           available for Mail::Internet, but is there to be compatible with
394           the "head" method of Mail::Message.
395
396       $obj->header( [\@lines] )
397           Optionally reads a header from the ARRAY of lines, and then returns
398           those fields as array-ref nicely folded.  Implemented by
399           Mail::Message::Replace::MailHeader::header()

402           Inherited, see "The header" in Mail::Message
403
404       $obj->print_header($fh)
405           Calls Mail::Message::Head::Complete::print().
406
407       $obj->replace( $tag, $line, [$index] )
408           Adds LINES to the header, but removes fields with the same name if
409           they already exist.  Calls
410           Mail::Message::Replace::MailHeader::replace()

429
430   The body
431       Extends "The body" in Mail::Message.
432
433       $obj->body($lines|@lines)
434           Returns an ARRAY of lines, representing the body.  With arguments,
435           a new body will be created.  In Mail::Internet, the body is not an
436           object but a simple array.
437
438           BE WARNED: this overrules the Mail::Message::body() method, which
439           may cause some confusion.  Use bodyObject() to get access to that
440           body's data.
441
442       $obj->bodyObject( [$body] )
443           Calls Mail::Message::body(), because that "body" method is
444           overruled by the one which has a Mail::Internet compatible
445           interface.

464
465       $obj->print_body( [$fh] )
466           Prints the body to the specified $fh, which defaults to STDOUT.
467           This calls Mail::Message::Body::print().
468
469       $obj->remove_sig( [$nrlines] )
470           Remove the signature of a message with a maximum of $nrlines lines,
471           which defaults to 10.  The work is done on the decoded body
472           content, by Mail::Message::Body::stripSignature().
473
474       $obj->smtpsend(%options)
475           This method is calling Mail::Message::send() via "smtp", which is
476           implemented in Mail::Transport::SMTP.  The implementation is
477           slightly different, so this method is not 100% compliant.

489             Only the first detected HOSTNAME is taken, so differs from the
490             original implementation.
491
492           MailFrom => STRING
493             Your e-mail address.  This simulated Mail::Internet object does
494             not try to create an e-mail address from the sendmail
495             configuration file, because that is generally a bad idea in
496             environments with virtual hosts, as we have now-adays.
497
498           Port => INTEGER
499       $obj->tidy_body()

533           Returns the whole message as one string, which can be included in

535           body which start with "From " are escaped with an >.

DIAGNOSTICS

655       Error: Cannot include forward source as $include.
656           Unknown alternative for the forward(include).  Valid choices are
657           "NO", "INLINE", "ATTACH", and "ENCAPSULATE".
658
659       Error: Mail::Internet does not support this kind of data
660           The ARGS data can only be a file handle or an ARRAY.  Other data
661           types are not supported (see read() if you want to have more).
662
663       Error: Method bounce requires To, Cc, or Bcc
664           The message bounce() method forwards a received message off to
665           someone else without modification; you must specified it's new
666           destination.  If you have the urge not to specify any destination,
667           you probably are looking for reply(). When you wish to modify the
668           content, use forward().
669
670       Error: Method forwardAttach requires a preamble
671       Error: Method forwardEncapsulate requires a preamble
672       Error: No address to create forwarded to.
673           If a forward message is created, a destination address must be
674           specified.
675
676       Error: No rebuild rule $name defined.
677       Error: Only build() Mail::Message's; they are not in a folder yet
678           You may wish to construct a message to be stored in a some kind of
679           folder, but you need to do that in two steps.  First, create a
680           normal Mail::Message, and then add it to the folder.  During this
681           Mail::Box::addMessage() process, the message will get coerce()-d
682           into the right message type, adding storage information and the
683           like.
684
685       Error: Package $package does not implement $method.
686           Fatal error: the specific package (or one of its superclasses) does
687           not implement this method where it should. This message means that
688           some other related classes do implement this method however the
689           class at hand does not.  Probably you should investigate this and
690           probably inform the author of the package.
