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 Most methods will work without any change, but you may need to have a
29 look at your smtpsend() and send() calls.
30 Extends "DESCRIPTION" in Mail::Message.
32
35 Extends "METHODS" in Mail::Message.
36 Constructors
38 Extends "Constructors" in Mail::Message.
39 $obj->clone(%options)
41 Inherited, see "Constructors" in Mail::Message
42 $obj->dup()
44 Duplicate the message. The result will again be a Mail::Internet
45 compatible object.
46 $obj->empty()
48 Remove all data from this object. Very dangerous!

117 Constructing a message
119 Extends "Constructing a message" in Mail::Message.
120 $obj->add_signature( [$filename] )

173 $obj->read(\@lines|$fh, %options)
175 Mail::Message::Replace::MailInternet->read(\@lines|$fh, %options)
176 Read header and body from the specified ARRAY or $fh. When used as
177 object method, Mail::Message::read() is called, to be MailBox
178 compliant. As class method, the Mail::Internet compatible read is
179 called. %options are only available in the first case.

247 body => BODY
248 group_reply => BOOLEAN
249 header_template => $filename|"undef"

298 $obj->nntppost(%options)
300 Send an NNTP message (newsgroup message), which is equivalent to
301 Mail::Transport::NNTP or Mail::Message::send() with "via 'nntp'".
302 -Option--Default
304 Debug <false>
305 Host <from Net::Config>
306 Port 119
307 Debug => BOOLEAN
309 Host => $hostname
310 Port => INTEGER
311 $obj->partNumber()
312 Inherited, see "The message" in Mail::Message
313 $obj->print( [$fh] )
315 Prints the whole message to the specified $fh, which default to
316 STDOUT. This calls Mail::Message::print().
317 $obj->send($type, %options)
319 Send via Mail Transfer Agents (MUA). These will be handled by
320 various Mail::Transport::Send extensions. The "test" $type is not
321 supported.
322 $obj->size()
324 Inherited, see "The message" in Mail::Message
325 $obj->toplevel()
327 Inherited, see "The message" in Mail::Message
328 $obj->write( [$fh] )
330 Inherited, see "The message" in Mail::Message
331 The header
333 Extends "The header" in Mail::Message.
334 $obj->add(\@lines)
336 Add header lines, which simply calls "Mail::Message::Head::add()"
337 on the header for each specified LINE. The last added LINE is
338 returned.
339 $obj->bcc()
341 Inherited, see "The header" in Mail::Message
342 $obj->cc()
344 Inherited, see "The header" in Mail::Message
345 $obj->clean_header()
347 Not to be used, replaced by header().
348 $obj->combine( $tag, [$with] )
350 Not implemented, because I see no use for it.
351 $obj->date()
353 Inherited, see "The header" in Mail::Message
354 $obj->delete( $name, [$index]] )
356 Delete the fields with the specified $name. The deleted fields are
357 returned.
358 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...
363 Calls Mail::Message::Replace::MailHeader::delete()
365 $obj->destinations()
367 Inherited, see "The header" in Mail::Message
368 $obj->fold( [$length] )
370 Fold all the fields to a certain maximum $length. Implemented by
371 Mail::Message::Replace::MailHeader::fold()
372 $obj->fold_length( [[$tag], $length] )
374 Set the maximum line $length. $tag is ignored. Implemented by
375 Mail::Message::Replace::MailHeader::fold_length()
376 $obj->from()
378 Inherited, see "The header" in Mail::Message
379 $obj->get( $name, [$index] )
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 $obj->guessTimestamp()
388 Inherited, see "The header" in Mail::Message
389 $obj->head( [$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 $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()
400 $obj->nrLines()
402 Inherited, see "The header" in Mail::Message
403 $obj->print_header($fh)
405 Calls Mail::Message::Head::Complete::print().
406 $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()
411 $obj->sender()
413 Inherited, see "The header" in Mail::Message
414 $obj->study($fieldname)
416 Inherited, see "The header" in Mail::Message
417 $obj->subject()
419 Inherited, see "The header" in Mail::Message
420 $obj->tidy_headers()
422 No effect anymore (always performed).
423 $obj->timestamp()
425 Inherited, see "The header" in Mail::Message
426 $obj->to()
428 Inherited, see "The header" in Mail::Message
429 The body
431 Extends "The body" in Mail::Message.
432 $obj->body($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 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 $obj->bodyObject( [$body] )
443 Calls Mail::Message::body(), because that "body" method is
444 overruled by the one which has a Mail::Internet compatible
445 interface.
446 $obj->contentType()
448 Inherited, see "The body" in Mail::Message
449 $obj->decoded(%options)
451 Inherited, see "The body" in Mail::Message
452 $obj->encode(%options)

458 $obj->isNested()
460 Inherited, see "The body" in Mail::Message
461 $obj->parts( [<'ALL'|'ACTIVE'|'DELETED'|'RECURSE'|$filter>] )
463 Inherited, see "The body" in Mail::Message
464 $obj->print_body( [$fh] )
466 Prints the body to the specified $fh, which defaults to STDOUT.
467 This calls Mail::Message::Body::print().
468 $obj->remove_sig( [$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 $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.
478 -Option --Default
480 Debug <false>
481 Hello <helo_domain from Net::Config>
482 Host $ENV{SMTPHOSTS} or from Net::Config
483 MailFrom $ENV{MAILADDRESS} or $ENV{USER}
484 Port 25
485 Debug => BOOLEAN
487 Hello => STRING
488 Host => HOSTNAME
489 Only the first detected HOSTNAME is taken, so differs from the
490 original implementation.
491 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 Port => INTEGER
499 $obj->tidy_body()
500 Removes blank lines from begin and end of the body.
501 Flags

528 The whole message as text
530 Extends "The whole message as text" in Mail::Message.
531 $obj->as_mbox_string()
533 Returns the whole message as one string, which can be included in
534 an MBOX folder (while not using Mail::Box::Mbox). Lines in the
535 body which start with "From " are escaped with an >.

554 $obj->isa($class)
555 Mail::Message::Replace::MailInternet->isa($class)
556 Of course, the "isa()" class inheritance check should not see our
557 nasty trick.

560 Extends "Internals" in Mail::Message.
561 $obj->clonedFrom()
563 Inherited, see "Internals" in Mail::Message
564 Mail::Message::Replace::MailInternet->coerce($message)

662 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 Error: Method forwardAttach requires a preamble

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 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.
