INHERITANCE

          is a Mail::Reporter

        Mail::Message::Convert is extended by
          Mail::Message::Convert::EmailSimple
          Mail::Message::Convert::Html
          Mail::Message::Convert::HtmlFormatPS
          Mail::Message::Convert::HtmlFormatText

SYNOPSIS

       Available methods are very converter-specific.

DESCRIPTION

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

       See documentation in the base class.

   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

       See documentation in the base class.

   Constructors
       See documentation in the base class.

       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.
