INHERITANCE
Mail::Message::Replace::MailHeader

SYNOPSIS
!!! ALPHA CODE !!!
# change
use Mail::Internet;
use Mail::Header;
# 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::Head::Complete, which simulates a
Mail::Header object. The name-space of that module is hijacked and many methods are
added.
Most methods will work without any change, but you should test your software again. Small
changes have been made to fold_length(), header_hashref().

Access to the header
Extends "Access to the header" in Mail::Message::Head::Complete.
$obj->add( $line, [$index] )
Add a header line, which simply calls "Mail::Message::Head::add()" on the header for
the specified $line. The $index is ignored, the unfolded body of the field is
returned.

Inherited, see "Access to the header" in Mail::Message::Head::Complete
$obj->delete( $tag, [$index] )
Delete the fields with the specified $tag. The deleted fields are returned. If no
index is given, then all are removed.
$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 in list context: some fields appear more than once in a header.

$obj->replace( $tag, $line, [$index] )
Replace the field named $tag. from place $index (by default the first) by the $line.

Access to the header
Simulating Mail::Header
$obj->as_string()
Returns the whole header as one big scalar. Calls
Mail::Message::Head::Complete::string().
$obj->cleanup()
Cleanup memory usage. Not needed here.
$obj->combine( $tag, [$with] )
I do not see any valid reason for this command, so did not implement it.
$obj->dup()
Duplicate the header, which is simply clone().
$obj->empty()
Clean-out the whole hash. Better not use this (simply create another header object),
although it should work.
$obj->exists()
Returns whether there are any fields.
$obj->extract(ARRAY)
Extract (and remove) header fields from the array.
$obj->fold( [$length] )
Refold all fields in the header, to $length or whatever fold_length() returns.
$obj->fold_length( [[$tag], $length] )
Returns the line wrap, optionally after setting it to $length. The old value is
returned. The $tag argument is ignored, because it is silly to have different lines
fold in different ways. This method cannot be called statically anymore.
$obj->header( [ARRAY] )
Extract the fields from the ARRAY, if specified, and then fold the fields. Returned
is an array with all fields, produced via orderedFields().
$obj->header_hashref(HASH)
If you are using this method, you must be stupid... anyway: I do not want to support
it for now: use add() and friends.
$obj->mail_from( ['IGNORE'|'ERROR'|'COERCE'|'KEEP'] )
What to do when a header line in the form `From ' is encountered. Valid values are
"IGNORE" - ignore and discard the header, "ERROR" - invoke an error (call die),
"COERCE" - rename them as Mail-From and "KEEP" - keep them.
$obj->modify( [BOOLEAN] )
Refold the headers when they are added.
$obj->read($file)
Read the header from the $file.
$obj->tags()
Returns all the names of fields, implemented by
Mail::Message::Head::Complete::names().
$obj->unfold( [$tag] )
Remove the folding for all instances of $tag, or all fields at once.
The nasty bits
$obj->isa($class)
Mail::Message::Replace::MailHeader->isa($class)
Of course, the "isa()" class inheritance check should not see our nasty trick.
DETAILS
Extends "DETAILS" in Mail::Message::Head::Complete.
DIAGNOSTICS
Warning: Cannot remove field $name from header: not found.
You ask to remove a field which is not known in the header. Using delete(), reset(),
or set() to do the job will not result in warnings: those methods check the existence
of the field first.
Warning: Field objects have an implied name ($name)
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.
