Mail::Message::Replace::MailInternet - fake Mail::Internet
Mail::Message::Replace::MailInternet is a Mail::Message is a Mail::Reporter
!!! 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.
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.
$obj->clone(OPTIONS)
See Mail::Message/"Constructors"
$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!
Mail::Message::Replace::MailInternet->new([ARG], [OPTIONS])
Option --Defined in --Default Body undef FoldLength 79 Header undef MailFrom 'KEEP' Modify 0 body Mail::Message undef body_type Mail::Message Mail::Message::Body::Lines deleted Mail::Message <false> field_type Mail::Message undef head Mail::Message undef head_type Mail::Message Mail::Message::Replace::MailHeader labels Mail::Message {} log Mail::Reporter 'WARNINGS' messageId Mail::Message undef modified Mail::Message <false> trace Mail::Reporter 'WARNINGS' trusted Mail::Message <false>
. Body => ARRAY-OF-LINES
Array of "\n"
terminated lines. If not specified, the lines will be
read from ARG.
. FoldLength => INTEGER
Number of characters permitted on any refolded header line. Passed to Mail::Message::Replace::MailHeader::new(FoldLength).
. Header => OBJECT
The Mail::Header object, which is passed here, is a fake one as well... It is translated into a new(head). If not given, the header will be parsed from the ARG.
. MailFrom => 'IGNORE'|'ERROR'|'COERCE'|'KEEP'
What to do with leading "From
" lines in e-mail data.
Passed to Mail::Message::Replace::MailHeader::new(MailFrom).
. Modify => BOOLEAN
Whether to re-fold all the incoming fields. Passed to Mail::Message::Replace::MailHeader::new(Modify).

$obj->MailFrom([STRING])
Your email address.
$obj->add_signature([FILENAME])
Replaced by sign(), but still usable. FILENAME is the file which
contains the signature, which defaults to $ENV{HOME}/.signature
.
$obj->bounce([RG-OBJECT|OPTIONS])
See Mail::Message::Construct::Bounce/"Constructing a message"

$obj->rebuild(OPTIONS)
See Mail::Message::Construct::Rebuild/"Constructing a message"
$obj->reply(OPTIONS)
BE WARNED: the main job for creating a reply is done by Mail::Message::reply(), which may produce a result which is compatible, but may be different from Mail::Internet's version.

. Bcc => ADDRESSES
. Cc => ADDRESSES
. Exclude => ARRAY-OF-NAMES
Remove the fields witht the specified names from the produced reply message.
. From => ADDRESSES
. Inline => STRING
Quotation STRING, which is translated into reply(quote). The normal
default of quote

. group_reply => BOOLEAN
. header_template => FILENAME|undef
Read the return header from the template file. When this is explicitly
set to undef
, or the file does not exist, then a header will be created.
. include => 'NO'|'INLINE'|'ATTACH'
. max_signature => INTEGER
. message_type => CLASS
. postlude => BODY|LINES

$obj->replyPrelude([STRING|FIELD|ADDRESS|ARRAY-OF-THINGS])
See Mail::Message::Construct::Reply/"Constructing a message"
$obj->replySubject(STRING)
Mail::Message::Replace::MailInternet->replySubject(STRING)
See Mail::Message::Construct::Reply/"Constructing a message"
$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.
$obj->container
See Mail::Message/"The message"
$obj->isDummy
See Mail::Message/"The message"
$obj->isPart
See Mail::Message/"The message"
$obj->messageId
See Mail::Message/"The 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 Mail::Message/"The message"
$obj->toplevel
See Mail::Message/"The message"
$obj->write([FILEHANDLE])
See Mail::Message/"The message"
$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 Mail::Message/"The header"
$obj->cc
See Mail::Message/"The header"
$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 Mail::Message/"The header"
$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 Mail::Message/"The header"
$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 Mail::Message/"The header"
$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 Mail::Message/"The header"
$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 Mail::Message/"The header"
$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 Mail::Message/"The header"
$obj->study(FIELDNAME)
See Mail::Message/"The header"
$obj->subject
See Mail::Message/"The header"
$obj->tidy_headers
No effect anymore (always performed).
$obj->timestamp
See Mail::Message/"The header"
$obj->to
See Mail::Message/"The header"
$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
$obj->decoded(OPTIONS)
$obj->encode(OPTIONS)
$obj->isMultipart
$obj->isNested
$obj->parts(['ALL'|'ACTIVE'|'DELETED'|'RECURSE'|FILTER])
$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.
$obj->deleted([BOOLEAN])
$obj->isDeleted
$obj->isModified
$obj->label(LABEL|PAIRS)
$obj->labels
$obj->labelsToStatus
$obj->modified([BOOLEAN])
$obj->statusToLabels
$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

$obj->isa(CLASS)
Mail::Message::Replace::MailInternet->isa(CLASS)
Of course, the isa()
class inheritance check should not see our
nasty trick.
$obj->clonedFrom
Mail::Message::Replace::MailInternet->coerce(MESSAGE)
Coerce (adapt type) of the specified MESSAGE (anything Mail::Message::coerce() accepts) into an Mail::Internet simulating object.

$obj->inGlobalDestruction
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.
