VERSION

10       2015 as part of Palm version 1.400.
11

SYNOPSIS

13           use Palm::Mail;
14

DESCRIPTION

16       The Mail PDB handler is a helper class for the Palm::PDB package. It
17       parses Mail databases.
18
19   AppInfo block
20       The AppInfo block begins with standard category support. See
21       Palm::StdAppInfo for details.
22
23       Other fields include:
24
25           $pdb->{appinfo}{sortOrder}
26           $pdb->{appinfo}{unsent}
27           $pdb->{appinfo}{sigOffset}
28
29       I don't know what these are.
30
31   Sort block
32           $pdb->{sort}
33
34       This is a scalar, the raw data of the sort block.
35
36   Records
37           $record = $pdb->{records}[N]
38
39           $record->{year}
40           $record->{month}
41           $record->{day}
42           $record->{hour}
43           $record->{minute}
44
45       The message's timestamp.
46
47           $record->{is_read}
48
49       This is defined and true iff the message has been read.
50
51           $record->{has_signature}
52
53       For outgoing messages, this is defined and true iff the message should
54       have a signature attached. The signature itself is stored in the "Saved
55       Preferences.prc" database, and is of type "mail" with ID 2.
56
57           $record->{confirm_read}
58
59       If this is defined and true, then the sender requests notification when
60       the message has been read.
61
62           $record->{confirm_delivery}
63
64       If this is defined and true, then the sender requests notification when
65       the message has been delivered.
66
67           $record->{priority}
68
69       An integer in the range 0-2, for high, normal, or low priority,
70       respectively.
71
72           $record->{addressing}
73
74       An integer in the range 0-2, indicating the addressing type: To, Cc, or
75       Bcc respectively. I don't know what this means.
76
77           $record->{subject}
78           $record->{from}
79           $record->{to}
80           $record->{cc}
81           $record->{bcc}
82           $record->{replyTo}
83           $record->{sentTo}
84
85       Strings, the various header fields.
86
87           $record->{body}
88
89       A string, the body of the message.
90

METHODS

92   new
93         $pdb = new Palm::Mail;
94
95       Create a new PDB, initialized with the various Palm::Mail fields and an
96       empty record list.
97
98       Use this method if you're creating a Mail PDB from scratch.
99
100   new_Record
101         $record = $pdb->new_Record;
102
103       Creates a new Mail record, with blank values for all of the fields.
104
105       "new_Record" does not add the new record to $pdb. For that, you want
106       "$pdb->append_Record".
107
108       Note: the time given by the "year", "month", "day", "hour", and
109       "minute" fields in the new record are initialized to the time when the
110       record was created. They should be reset to the time when the message
111       was sent.
