NAME
Mail::Message::Replace::MailInternet - fake Mail::Internet
INHERITANCE
Mail::Message::Replace::MailInternet
is a Mail::Message
is a Mail::Reporter
SYNOPSIS
!!! BETA !!!
# change
use Mail::Internet;
# 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, which simulates a Mail::Internet object.
The name-space of that module is hijacked and many methods are added.
Most methods will work without any change, but you may need to have a look at your
smtpsend() and send() calls.
See documentation in the base class.

METHODS
See documentation in the base class.
Constructors
See documentation in the base class.
$obj->clone(OPTIONS)
See "Constructors" in Mail::Message
$obj->dup()
Duplicate the message. The result will again be a Mail::Internet compatible object.
$obj->empty()
Remove all data from this object. Very dangerous!

$obj->replySubject(STRING)
Mail::Message::Replace::MailInternet->replySubject(STRING)
See "Constructing a message" in Mail::Message::Construct::Reply
$obj->sign(OPTIONS)
Add a signature (a few extra lines) to the message.
-Option --Default
File undef
Signature ''
File => FILENAME
Specifies a filename where the signature is in.
Signature => STRING|ARRAY-OF-LINES

The message
See documentation in the base class.
$obj->container()
See "The message" in Mail::Message
$obj->isDummy()
See "The message" in Mail::Message
$obj->isPart()
See "The message" in Mail::Message
$obj->messageId()
See "The message" in Mail::Message
$obj->nntppost(OPTIONS)
Send an NNTP message (newsgroup message), which is equivalent to Mail::Transport::NNTP
or Mail::Message::send() with "via 'nntp'".
-Option--Default
Debug <false>
Host <from Net::Config>
Port 119
Debug => BOOLEAN
Host => HOSTNAME
Port => INTEGER
$obj->partNumber()
See "The message" in Mail::Message
$obj->print([FILEHANDLE])
Prints the whole message to the specified FILEHANDLE, which default to STDOUT. This
calls Mail::Message::print().
$obj->send(TYPE, OPTIONS)
Send via Mail Transfer Agents (MUA). These will be handled by various
Mail::Transport::Send extensions. The "test" TYPE is not supported.
$obj->size()
See "The message" in Mail::Message
$obj->toplevel()
See "The message" in Mail::Message
$obj->write([FILEHANDLE])
See "The message" in Mail::Message
The header
See documentation in the base class.
$obj->add(LINES)
Add header lines, which simply calls "Mail::Message::Head::add()" on the header for
each specified LINE. The last added LINE is returned.
$obj->bcc()
See "The header" in Mail::Message
$obj->cc()
See "The header" in Mail::Message
$obj->clean_header()
Not to be used, replaced by header().
$obj->combine(TAG, [WITH])
Not implemented, because I see no use for it.
$obj->date()
See "The header" in Mail::Message
$obj->delete(NAME, [INDEX]])
Delete the fields with the specified NAME. The deleted fields are returned.
BE WARNED: if no NAME is specified, the "delete" is interpreted as the deletion of the
message in a folder, so Mail::Box::Message::delete() will be called. This may have no
negative effect at all...
Calls Mail::Message::Replace::MailHeader::delete()
$obj->destinations()
See "The header" in Mail::Message
$obj->fold([LENGTH])
Fold all the fields to a certain maximum LENGTH. Implemented by
Mail::Message::Replace::MailHeader::fold()
$obj->fold_length([[TAG], LENGTH])
Set the maximum line LENGTH. TAG is ignored. Implemented by
Mail::Message::Replace::MailHeader::fold_length()
$obj->from()
See "The header" in Mail::Message
$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: some fields appear more than once in a header. Calls
Mail::Message::Replace::MailHeader::get()
$obj->guessTimestamp()
See "The header" in Mail::Message
$obj->head([HEAD])
Returns the head of the message, or creates an empty one if none is defined. The HEAD
argument, which sets the header, is not available for Mail::Internet, but is there to
be compatible with the "head" method of Mail::Message.
$obj->header([ARRAY])
Optionally reads a header from the ARRAY, and then returns those fields as array-ref
nicely folded. Implemented by Mail::Message::Replace::MailHeader::header()
$obj->nrLines()
See "The header" in Mail::Message
$obj->print_header(FILEHANDLE)
Calls Mail::Message::Head::Complete::print().
$obj->replace(TAG, LINE, [INDEX])
Adds LINES to the header, but removes fields with the same name if they already exist.
Calls Mail::Message::Replace::MailHeader::replace()
$obj->sender()
See "The header" in Mail::Message
$obj->study(FIELDNAME)
See "The header" in Mail::Message
$obj->subject()
See "The header" in Mail::Message
$obj->tidy_headers()
No effect anymore (always performed).
$obj->timestamp()
See "The header" in Mail::Message
$obj->to()
See "The header" in Mail::Message
The body
See documentation in the base class.
$obj->body([ARRAY-OF-LINES|LIST-OF-LINES])
Returns an array of lines, representing the body. With arguments, a new body will be
created. In Mail::Internet, the body is not an object but a simple array.
BE WARNED: this overrules the Mail::Message::body() method, which may cause some
confusion. Use bodyObject() to get access to that body's data.
$obj->bodyObject([BODY])
Calls Mail::Message::body(), because that "body" method is overruled by the one which
has a Mail::Internet compatible interface.
$obj->contentType()
See "The body" in Mail::Message
$obj->decoded(OPTIONS)
See "The body" in Mail::Message
$obj->encode(OPTIONS)
See "The body" in Mail::Message
$obj->isMultipart()
See "The body" in Mail::Message
$obj->isNested()
See "The body" in Mail::Message
$obj->parts(['ALL'|'ACTIVE'|'DELETED'|'RECURSE'|FILTER])
See "The body" in Mail::Message
$obj->print_body([FILEHANDLE])
Prints the body to the specified FILEHANDLE, which defaults to STDOUT. This calls
Mail::Message::Body::print().
$obj->remove_sig([NRLINES])
Remove the signature of a message with a maximum of NRLINES lines, which defaults to
10. The work is done on the decoded body content, by
Mail::Message::Body::stripSignature().
$obj->smtpsend(OPTIONS)
This method is calling Mail::Message::send() via "smtp", which is implemented in
Mail::Transport::SMTP. The implementation is slightly different, so this method is
not 100% compliant.
-Option --Default
Debug <false>
Hello <helo_domain from Net::Config>
Host $ENV{SMTPHOSTS} or from Net::Config
MailFrom $ENV{MAILADDRESS} or $ENV{USER}
Port 25
Debug => BOOLEAN
Hello => STRING
Host => HOSTNAME
Only the first detected HOSTNAME is taken, so differs from the original
implementation.
MailFrom => STRING
Your e-mail address. This simulated Mail::Internet object does not try to create an
e-mail address from the sendmail configuration file, because that is generally a bad
idea in environments with virtual hosts, as we have now-adays.
Port => INTEGER
$obj->tidy_body()
Removes blank lines from begin and end of the body.
Flags
See documentation in the base class.
$obj->deleted([BOOLEAN])

$obj->statusToLabels()
See "Flags" in Mail::Message
The whole message as text
See documentation in the base class.
$obj->as_mbox_string()
Returns the whole message as one string, which can be included in an MBOX folder
(while not using Mail::Box::Mbox). Lines in the body which start with "From " are
escaped with an >.
$obj->file()

DIAGNOSTICS
Error: Cannot include forward source as $include.
Unknown alternative for the forward(include). Valid choices are "NO", "INLINE",
"ATTACH", and "ENCAPSULATE".
Error: Mail::Internet does not support this kind of data
The ARGS data can only be a file handle or an ARRAY. Other data types are not
supported (see read() if you want to have more).
Error: Method bounce requires To, Cc, or Bcc
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().
Error: Method forwardAttach requires a preamble
Error: Method forwardEncapsulate requires a preamble
Error: No address to create forwarded to.
If a forward message is created, a destination address must be specified.
Error: No rebuild rule $name defined.
Error: Only build() Mail::Message's; they are not in a folder yet
You may wish to construct a message to be stored in a some kind of folder, 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.
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.
