10
12 Complex functionality on Mail::Message objects is implemented in dif‐
13 ferent files which are autoloaded. This file implements the function‐
14 ality related to bouncing messages off to other destinations.

17 Constructing a message
18
19 $obj->bounce([RG-OBJECT⎪OPTIONS])
20
21 The program calling this method considers itself as an intermediate
22 step in the message delivery process; it therefore leaves a resent
23 group of header fields as trace.
24
25 When a message is received, the Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) adds a
26 "Received" field to the header. As OPTIONS, you may specify lines
27 which are added to the resent group of that received field.
28 "Resent-" is prepended before the field-names automatically, unless
29 already present.
30
31 You may also specify an instantiated Mail::Message::Head::Resent‐
32 Group (RG) object. See Mail::Message::Head::ResentGroup::new() for
33 the available options. This is required if you want to add a new
34 resent group: create a new "Received" line in the header as well.
35
36 If you are planning to change the body of a bounce message, don't!
37 Bounced messages have the same message-id as the original message,
38 and therefore should have the same content (message-ids are univer‐
39 sally unique). If you still insist, use Mail::Message::body().
40
41 Example:
42
43 my $bounce = $folder->message(3)->bounce(To => 'you', Bcc => 'everyone');
44
45 $bounce->send;
46 $outbox->addMessage($bounce);
47
48 my $rg = Mail::Message::Head::ResentGroup->new(To => 'you',
49 Received => 'from ... by ...');
50 $msg->bounce($rg)->send;
51
53 Error: Method bounce requires To, Cc, or Bcc
54
55 The message bounce() method forwards a received message off to someone
56 else without modification; you must specified it's new destination. If
57 you have the urge not to specify any destination, you probably are
58 looking for reply(). When you wish to modify the content, use for‐
59 ward().
