NAME

       Email::Thread - Use JWZ's mail threading algorithm with Email::Simple objects

VERSION

       version 0.713

SYNOPSIS

           use Email::Thread;
           my $threader = Email::Thread->new(@messages);

           $threader->thread;

           dump_em($_,0) for $threader->rootset;

           sub dump_em {
               my ($self, $level) = @_;
               debug (' \\-> ' x $level);
               if ($self->message) {
                   print $self->message->header("Subject") , "\n";
               } else {
                   print "[ Message $self not available ]\n";
               }
               dump_em($self->child, $level+1) if $self->child;
               dump_em($self->next, $level) if $self->next;
           }

DESCRIPTION

       Strictly speaking, this doesn't really need Email::Simple objects.  It just needs an
       object that responds to the same API. At the time of writing the list of classes with the
       Email::Simple API comprises just Email::Simple.

       Due to how it's implemented, its API is an exact clone of Mail::Thread.  Please see that
       module's documentation for API details. Just mentally substitute "Email::Thread"
       everywhere you see "Mail::Thread" and "Email::Thread::Container" where you see
       "Mail::Thread::Container".

PERL VERSION

       This module should work on any version of perl still receiving updates from the Perl 5
       Porters.  This means it should work on any version of perl released in the last two to
       three years.  (That is, if the most recently released version is v5.40, then this module
       should work on both v5.40 and v5.38.)

       Although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the minimum
       required version will not be increased.  The version may be increased for any reason, and
       there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower the minimum required perl.

THANKS

       Simon Cozens (SIMON) for encouraging me to release it, and for Email::Simple and
       Mail::Thread.

       Richard Clamp (RCLAMP) for the header patch.
