NAME¶
Mail::Message::Part - a part of a message, but a message by itself
INHERITANCE¶
Mail::Message::Part
is a Mail::Message
is a Mail::Reporter
SYNOPSIS¶
my Mail::Message $message = ...;
if($message->isMultipart) {
my Mail::Message::Part $part;
foreach $part ($message->body->parts) {
$part->print(\*OUT);
my $attached_head = $part->head;
my $attached_body = $part->body; # encoded as read
my $attached_body = $part->decoded; # transfer-encoding removed
}
}
DESCRIPTION¶
A "Mail::Message::Part" object contains a message which is included in
the body of an other message. For instance
attachments are
parts.
READ Mail::Message FIRST. A part is a special message: it has a reference to its
parent message, and will usually not be sub-classed into mail folder specific
variants.

Constructing a message¶
- $obj->bounce([RG-OBJECT|OPTIONS])
- See "Constructing a message" in
Mail::Message::Construct::Bounce
- Mail::Message::Part->build([MESSAGE|PART|BODY],
CONTENT)
- See "Constructing a message" in
Mail::Message::Construct::Build
- Mail::Message::Part->buildFromBody(BODY,
CONTAINER, HEADERS)
- Shape a message part around a BODY. Bodies have information
about their content in them, which is used to construct a header for the
message. Next to that, more HEADERS can be specified. No headers are
obligatory. No extra headers are fabricated automatically.
example:
my $multi = Mail::Message::Body::Multipart->new;
my $part = Mail::Message::Part->buildFromBody($body, $multi);

MULTIPART, HEADERS)
- Transforms a BODY or MESSAGE to a real message part. The
MULTIPART refers to the parental body.

coerced into message parts by calling buildFromBody(). If you
specify a MESSAGE residing in a folder, this message will automatically be
cloned.

Cleanup¶
- $obj->DESTROY()
- See "Cleanup" in Mail::Message
- $obj->destruct()
- Message parts can not be destructed per part: only whole
messages can be forcefully freed from memory. Of course, you can
delete() separate parts, which only sets a flag not to write a part
again. Furthermore, you may cosider rebuild() to get rit of deleted
parts.
- $obj->inGlobalDestruction()
- See "Cleanup" in Mail::Reporter
DIAGNOSTICS¶
- Error: Cannot include forward source as $include.
- Unknown alternative for the forward(include). Valid choices
are "NO", "INLINE", "ATTACH", and
"ENCAPSULATE".
- Error: Cannot include reply source as $include.
- Unknown alternative for the "include" option of
reply(). Valid choices are "NO", "INLINE", and
"ATTACH".
- 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 default mailer found to send message.
- The message send() mechanism had not enough
information to automatically find a mail transfer agent to sent this
message. Specify a mailer explicitly using the "via"
options.
- 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.
- Error: You cannot destruct message parts, only whole
messages
- Message parts can not be destructed per part: only whole
messages can be forcefully freed from memory. Consider delete() or
rebuild().
