NAME¶
Palm::Mail - Handler for Palm Mail databases.
SYNOPSIS¶
use Palm::Mail;
DESCRIPTION¶
The Mail PDB handler is a helper class for the Palm::PDB package. It parses Mail
databases.
AppInfo block¶
The AppInfo block begins with standard category support. See Palm::StdAppInfo
for details.
Other fields include:
$pdb->{appinfo}{sortOrder}
$pdb->{appinfo}{unsent}
$pdb->{appinfo}{sigOffset}
I don't know what these are.
Sort block¶
$pdb->{sort}
This is a scalar, the raw data of the sort block.
Records¶
$record = $pdb->{records}[N]
$record->{year}
$record->{month}
$record->{day}
$record->{hour}
$record->{minute}
The message's timestamp.
$record->{is_read}
This is defined and true iff the message has been read.
$record->{has_signature}
For outgoing messages, this is defined and true iff the message should have a
signature attached. The signature itself is stored in the "Saved
Preferences.prc" database, and is of type "mail" with ID 2.
$record->{confirm_read}
If this is defined and true, then the sender requests notification when the
message has been read.
$record->{confirm_delivery}
If this is defined and true, then the sender requests notification when the
message has been delivered.
$record->{priority}
An integer in the range 0-2, for high, normal, or low priority, respectively.
$record->{addressing}
An integer in the range 0-2, indicating the addressing type: To, Cc, or Bcc
respectively. I don't know what this means.
$record->{subject}
$record->{from}
$record->{to}
$record->{cc}
$record->{bcc}
$record->{replyTo}
$record->{sentTo}
Strings, the various header fields.
$record->{body}
A string, the body of the message.
METHODS¶
new¶
$pdb = new Palm::Mail;
Create a new PDB, initialized with the various Palm::Mail fields and an empty
record list.
Use this method if you're creating a Mail PDB from scratch.
new_Record¶
$record = $pdb->new_Record;
Creates a new Mail record, with blank values for all of the fields.
"new_Record" does
not add the new record to $pdb. For that, you
want "$pdb->append_Record".
Note: the time given by the "year", "month",
"day", "hour", and "minute" fields in the new
record are initialized to the time when the record was created. They should be
reset to the time when the message was sent.
