The message
$obj->container
See "The message" in Mail::Message
$obj->copyTo(FOLDER, OPTIONS)
See "The message" in Mail::Box::Message
$obj->escapedBody
Mbox folders contain multiple messages in one file, using a
separator line to keep them apart. Typically, these lines start
with "From ". Lines within the message could interfere with this
separator, and should therefore be translated.
This method will return the escaped text of the body as reference.
$obj->folder([FOLDER])
See "The message" in Mail::Box::Message
$obj->fromLine([LINE])
Many people detest file-style folders because they store messages
all in one file, where a line starting with "From " leads the
header. If we receive a message from a file-based folder, we store
that line. If we write to such a file, but there is no such line
stored, then we try to generate one.
If LINE is provided, then the starting line is set to this value.

$obj->size

$obj->toplevel
See "The message" in Mail::Message
$obj->write([FILEHANDLE])
Write one message to a file handle. It is the message including
the leading 'From ' line and trailing blank. The From-line may
interfere with lines in the body: those lines are escaped with an
extra '>'.
example:
$msg->write(\*FILE); # print the message with encaps to FILE
$msg->write; # message with encaps to selected filehandle
$msg->print(\*FILE); # the message without encaps.

DIAGNOSTICS
Error: Cannot coerce a $class object into a $class object
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: Unable to read delayed body.
Error: coercion starts with some object
