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.
Extends "DESCRIPTION" in Mail::Message.
OVERLOADED
METHODS
Extends "METHODS" in Mail::Message.
Constructors
Extends "Constructors" in Mail::Message.
$obj->clone(%options)
Inherited, 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!

Your email address.
Constructing a message
Extends "Constructing a message" in Mail::Message.
$obj->add_signature( [$filename] )
Replaced by sign(), but still usable. $filename is the file which contains the signature, which
defaults to "$ENV{HOME}/.signature".

Inherited, see "Constructing a message" in Mail::Message::Construct::Reply
$obj->replySubject(STRING)
Mail::Message::Replace::MailInternet->replySubject(STRING)
Inherited, 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|\@lines

The message
Extends "The message" in Mail::Message.
$obj->container()
Inherited, see "The message" in Mail::Message
$obj->isDummy()
Inherited, see "The message" in Mail::Message
$obj->isPart()
Inherited, see "The message" in Mail::Message
$obj->messageId()
Inherited, 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()
Inherited, see "The message" in Mail::Message
$obj->print( [$fh] )
Prints the whole message to the specified $fh, 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()
Inherited, see "The message" in Mail::Message
$obj->toplevel()
Inherited, see "The message" in Mail::Message
$obj->write( [$fh] )
Inherited, see "The message" in Mail::Message
The header
Extends "The header" in Mail::Message.
$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()
Inherited, see "The header" in Mail::Message
$obj->cc()
Inherited, 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()
Inherited, 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()
Inherited, 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()
Inherited, 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()
Inherited, 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( [\@lines] )
Optionally reads a header from the ARRAY of lines, and then returns those fields as array-ref nicely
folded. Implemented by Mail::Message::Replace::MailHeader::header()
$obj->nrLines()
Inherited, see "The header" in Mail::Message
$obj->print_header($fh)
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()
Inherited, see "The header" in Mail::Message
$obj->study($fieldname)
Inherited, see "The header" in Mail::Message
$obj->subject()
Inherited, see "The header" in Mail::Message
$obj->tidy_headers()
No effect anymore (always performed).
$obj->timestamp()
Inherited, see "The header" in Mail::Message
$obj->to()
Inherited, see "The header" in Mail::Message
The body
Extends "The body" in Mail::Message.
$obj->body($lines|@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()
Inherited, see "The body" in Mail::Message
$obj->decoded(%options)
Inherited, see "The body" in Mail::Message
$obj->encode(%options)
Inherited, see "The body" in Mail::Message
$obj->isMultipart()
Inherited, see "The body" in Mail::Message
$obj->isNested()
Inherited, see "The body" in Mail::Message
$obj->parts( [<'ALL'|'ACTIVE'|'DELETED'|'RECURSE'|$filter>] )
Inherited, see "The body" in Mail::Message
$obj->print_body( [$fh] )
Prints the body to the specified $fh, 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.

The whole message as text
Extends "The whole message as text" in Mail::Message.

$obj->isa($class)
Mail::Message::Replace::MailInternet->isa($class)

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.
