NAME

Mail::Message::Replace::MailInternet - fake Mail::Internet

INHERITANCE

  Mail::Message::Replace::MailInternet
    is a Mail::Message
    is a Mail::Reporter
 
 

SYNOPSIS

  !!! BETA !!!
 
  # change
  use Mail::Internet;
  # into
  use Mail::Message::Replace::MailInternet;
  # in existing code, and the code should still work, but
  # with the Mail::Message features.
 
 

DESCRIPTION

This module is a wrapper around a Mail::Message, which simulates a Mail::Internet object. The name-space of that module is hijacked and many methods are added.

Most methods will work without any change, but you may need to have a look at your smtpsend() and send() calls.

METHODS

Constructors

$obj->clone(OPTIONS)
See ``Constructors'' in Mail::Message

$obj->dup

Duplicate the message. The result will again be a Mail::Internet compatible object.

$obj->empty

Remove all data from this object. Very dangerous!

. Cc => ADDRESSES

. Exclude => ARRAY-OF-NAMES

Remove the fields witht the specified names from the produced reply message.

Quotation STRING, which is translated into reply(quote). The normal default of "quote" is ``> '', in stead of ``>''.

. Keep => ARRAY-OF-NAMES
Copy all header fields with the specified NAMES from the source to the reply message.

. Message-ID => STRING

. To => ADDRESSES
. body => BODY
. group_reply => BOOLEAN

$obj->replyPrelude([STRING|FIELD|ADDRESS|ARRAY-OF-THINGS])

See ``Constructing a message'' in Mail::Message::Construct::Reply

$obj->replySubject(STRING)

Mail::Message::Replace::MailInternet->replySubject(STRING)

See ``Constructing a message'' in Mail::Message::Construct::Reply

$obj->sign(OPTIONS)

Add a signature (a few extra lines) to the message.
  Option   --Default
  File       undef
  Signature  ''
 
 

. File => FILENAME

Specifies a filename where the signature is in.

. Signature => STRING|ARRAY-OF-LINES
The signature in memory.

The message

$obj->container
See ``The message'' in Mail::Message

$obj->isDummy

See ``The message'' in Mail::Message

$obj->isPart

See ``The message'' in Mail::Message

$obj->messageId

See ``The message'' in Mail::Message

$obj->nntppost(OPTIONS)

Send an NNTP message (newsgroup message), which is equivalent to Mail::Transport::NNTP or Mail::Message::send() with "via 'nntp'".
  Option--Default
  Debug   <false>
  Host    <from Net::Config>
  Port    119
 
 

. Debug => BOOLEAN

. Host => HOSTNAME

. Port => INTEGER

$obj->print([FILEHANDLE])

Prints the whole message to the specified FILEHANDLE, which default to STDOUT. This calls Mail::Message::print().

$obj->send(TYPE, OPTIONS)

Send via Mail Transfer Agents (MUA). These will be handled by various Mail::Transport::Send extensions. The "test" TYPE is not supported.

$obj->size

See ``The message'' in Mail::Message

$obj->toplevel

See ``The message'' in Mail::Message

$obj->write([FILEHANDLE])

See ``The message'' in Mail::Message

The header

$obj->add(LINES)
Add header lines, which simply calls "Mail::Message::Head::add()" on the header for each specified LINE. The last added LINE is returned.

$obj->bcc

See ``The header'' in Mail::Message

$obj->cc

See ``The header'' in Mail::Message

$obj->clean_header

Not to be used, replaced by header().

$obj->combine(TAG, [WITH])

Not implemented, because I see no use for it.

$obj->date

See ``The header'' in Mail::Message

$obj->delete(NAME, [INDEX]])

Delete the fields with the specified NAME. The deleted fields are returned.
BE WARNED: if no NAME is specified, the "delete" is interpreted as the deletion of the message in a folder, so Mail::Box::Message::delete() will be called. This may have no negative effect at all...
Calls Mail::Message::Replace::MailHeader::delete()

$obj->destinations

See ``The header'' in Mail::Message

$obj->fold([LENGTH])

Fold all the fields to a certain maximum LENGTH. Implemented by Mail::Message::Replace::MailHeader::fold()

$obj->fold_length([[TAG], LENGTH])

Set the maximum line LENGTH. TAG is ignored. Implemented by Mail::Message::Replace::MailHeader::fold_length()

$obj->from

See ``The header'' in Mail::Message

$obj->get(NAME, [INDEX])

Get all the header fields with the specified NAME. In scalar context, only the first fitting NAME is returned. Even when only one NAME is specified, multiple lines may be returned: some fields appear more than once in a header. Calls Mail::Message::Replace::MailHeader::get()

$obj->guessTimestamp

See ``The header'' in Mail::Message

$obj->head([HEAD])

Returns the head of the message, or creates an empty one if none is defined. The HEAD argument, which sets the header, is not available for Mail::Internet, but is there to be compatible with the "head" method of Mail::Message.

$obj->header([ARRAY])

Optionally reads a header from the ARRAY, and then returns those fields as array-ref nicely folded. Implemented by Mail::Message::Replace::MailHeader::header()

$obj->nrLines

See ``The header'' in Mail::Message

$obj->print_header(FILEHANDLE)

Calls Mail::Message::Head::Complete::print().

$obj->replace(TAG, LINE, [INDEX])

Adds LINES to the header, but removes fields with the same name if they already exist. Calls Mail::Message::Replace::MailHeader::replace()

$obj->sender

See ``The header'' in Mail::Message

$obj->study(FIELDNAME)

See ``The header'' in Mail::Message

$obj->subject

See ``The header'' in Mail::Message

$obj->tidy_headers

No effect anymore (always performed).

$obj->timestamp

See ``The header'' in Mail::Message

$obj->to

See ``The header'' in Mail::Message

The body

$obj->body([ARRAY-OF-LINES|LIST-OF-LINES])
Returns an array of lines, representing the body. With arguments, a new body will be created. In Mail::Internet, the body is not an object but a simple array.
BE WARNED: this overrules the Mail::Message::body() method, which may cause some confusion. Use bodyObject() to get access to that body's data.

$obj->bodyObject([BODY])

Calls Mail::Message::body(), because that "body" method is overruled by the one which has a Mail::Internet compatible interface.

$obj->contentType

See ``The body'' in Mail::Message

$obj->decoded(OPTIONS)

See ``The body'' in Mail::Message

$obj->encode(OPTIONS)

See ``The body'' in Mail::Message

$obj->isMultipart

See ``The body'' in Mail::Message

$obj->isNested

See ``The body'' in Mail::Message

$obj->parts(['ALL'|'ACTIVE'|'DELETED'|'RECURSE'|FILTER])

See ``The body'' in Mail::Message

$obj->print_body([FILEHANDLE])

Prints the body to the specified FILEHANDLE, which defaults to STDOUT. This calls Mail::Message::Body::print().

$obj->remove_sig([NRLINES])

Remove the signature of a message with a maximum of NRLINES lines, which defaults to 10. The work is done on the decoded body content, by Mail::Message::Body::stripSignature().

$obj->smtpsend(OPTIONS)

This method is calling Mail::Message::send() via "smtp", which is implemented in Mail::Transport::SMTP. The implementation is slightly different, so this method is not 100% compliant.
  Option  --Default
  Debug     <false>
  Hello     <helo_domain from Net::Config>
  Host      $ENV{SMTPHOSTS} or from Net::Config
  MailFrom  $ENV{MAILADDRESS} or $ENV{USER}
  Port      25
 
 

. Debug => BOOLEAN

. Hello => STRING

. Host => HOSTNAME

Only the first detected HOSTNAME is taken, so differs from the original implementation.

. MailFrom => STRING
Your e-mail address. This simulated Mail::Internet object does not try to create an e-mail address from the sendmail configuration file, because that is generally a bad idea in environments with virtual hosts, as we have now-adays.

. Port => INTEGER

$obj->tidy_body

Removes blank lines from begin and end of the body.

Flags

$obj->deleted([BOOLEAN])
See ``Flags'' in Mail::Message

$obj->isDeleted

$obj->modified([BOOLEAN])

See ``Flags'' in Mail::Message

$obj->statusToLabels

See ``Flags'' in Mail::Message

The whole message as text

$obj->as_mbox_string
Returns the whole message as one string, which can be included in an MBOX folder (while not using Mail::Box::Mbox). Lines in the body which start with "From " are escaped with an >.

$obj->file

See ``The whole message as text'' in Mail::Message::Construct::Text

DETAILS

DIAGNOSTICS

Error: Cannot include forward source as $include.
Unknown alternative for the forward(include). Valid choices are "NO", "INLINE", "ATTACH", and "ENCAPSULATE".

Error: Mail::Internet does not support this kind of data

The ARGS data can only be a file handle or an ARRAY. Other data types are not supported (see read() if you want to have more).

Error: Method bounce requires To, Cc, or Bcc

The message bounce() method forwards a received message off to someone else without modification; you must specified it's new destination. If you have the urge not to specify any destination, you probably are looking for reply(). When you wish to modify the content, use forward().

Error: Method forwardAttach requires a preamble

Error: Method forwardEncapsulate requires a preamble

Error: No address to create forwarded to.

If a forward message is created, a destination address must be specified.

Error: No rebuild rule $name defined.

Error: Only build() Mail::Message's; they are not in a folder yet

You may wish to construct a message to be stored in a some kind of folder, but you need to do that in two steps. First, create a normal Mail::Message, and then add it to the folder. During this Mail::Box::addMessage() process, the message will get coerce()-d into the right message type, adding storage information and the like.

Error: Package $package does not implement $method.

Fatal error: the specific package (or one of its superclasses) does not implement this method where it should. This message means that some other related classes do implement this method however the class at hand does not. Probably you should investigate this and probably inform the author of the package.
