Mail::Box::Net::Message is extended by
Mail::Box::IMAP4::Message
Mail::Box::POP3::Message
my $folder = Mail::Box:POP3->new(...);
my $message = $folder->message(10);
A Mail::Box::Net::Message represents one message in a folder which
can only be accessed via some kind of protocol. On this moment, only a POP3
client is available. IMAP, DBI, and NNTP are other candidates.

- Error: class $package
does not implement method $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. Cast by

- 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(). Cast by
bounce()

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. Cast by build()
