          Mail::Message::Convert::Html
          Mail::Message::Convert::HtmlFormatPS

SYNOPSIS

       Available methods are very converter-specific.

DESCRIPTION

       This class is the base for various message (and message parts) converters.

       Extends "DESCRIPTION" in Mail::Reporter.

   Converters between message objects
       Internally, the Mail::Message::coerce() is called when foreign objects are used where
       message objects are expected.  That method will automatically create the converting
       objects, and re-use them.

       •   Mail::Message::Convert::MailInternet

           Converts the simple Mail::Internet messages into Mail::Message objects.

       •   Mail::Message::Convert::MimeEntity

           Converts the more complicated MIME::Entity messages into Mail::Message objects.

       •   Mail::Message::Convert::EmailSimple

           Converts Email::Simple messages into Mail::Message objects.

   Other converters
       •   Mail::Message::Convert::Html

           Plays tricks with HTML/XMHTML without help of external modules.

       •   Mail::Message::Convert::HtmlFormatText

           Converts HTML body objects to plain text objects using the HTML::FormatText module.

       •   Mail::Message::Convert::HtmlFormatPS

           Converts HTML body objects to Postscript objects using the HTML::FormatPS module.

       •   Mail::Message::Convert::TextAutoformat

           Converts a text message into text using Text::Autoformat.

METHODS

       Extends "METHODS" in Mail::Reporter.

   Constructors
       Extends "Constructors" in Mail::Reporter.

       Mail::Message::Convert->new(%options)
            -Option--Defined in     --Default
             fields                   <see description>
             log     Mail::Reporter   'WARNINGS'
             trace   Mail::Reporter   'WARNINGS'

           fields => NAMES|ARRAY-OF-NAMES|REGEXS
             Select the fields of a header which are to be handled.  Other fields will not be
             used.  The value of this option is passed to
             Mail::Message::Head::Complete::grepNames() whenever converters feel a need for
             header line selection.  By default, the "To", "From", "Cc", "Bcc", "Date",
             "Subject", and their "Resent-" counterparts will be selected.  Specify an empty list
             to get all fields.

           log => LEVEL
           trace => LEVEL

   Converting
       $obj->selectedFields($head)
           Returns a list of fields to be included in the format.  The list is an ordered
           selection of the fields in the actual header, and filtered through the information as
           specified with new(fields).

DIAGNOSTICS

       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.
