MboxParser::Mail::ConvUserbContributed Perl DoMboxParser::Mail::Convertable(3)NAMEMail::MboxParser::Mail::Convertable - convert mail for sending etc.
SYNOPSIS
use Mail::MboxParser;
[...]
# $msg is a Mail::MboxParser::Mail-object
my $mail = $msg->make_convertable;
$mail->delete_from_header('date', 'message-id');
$mail->replace_in_header('to', 'john.doe@foobar.com');
$mail->add_to_header( ['cc', 'john.does.brother@foobar.com'],
where => 'BEHIND' );
$mail->send('sendmail');
DESCRIPTION
This class adds means to convert an email object into something that
could be send via SMTP, NNTP or dumped to a file or filehandle.
Therefore, methods are provided that change the structure of an email
which includes adding and removing of header-fields, MIME-parts etc and
transforming them into objects of related modules.
Currently, only basic manipulation of the header and sending using
Mail::Mailer is provided. More is to come soon.
This class works non-destructive. You first create a Convertable-object
and do any modifications on this while the Mail-object from which it
was derived will not be touched.
METHODS
delete_from_header(header-fields)
Given a list of header-field names, these fields will be removed
from the header. If you want to re-send a message, you could for
instance remove the cc-field cause otherwise the message would be
carbon-copied to the addresses listed in the cc-field.
add_to_header(array-ref)
add_to_header(array-ref, where => 'BEFORE' | 'BEHIND')
add_to_header() takes a reference to a two-element list whose first
element specifies the header-field to add or to add to while the
second elements specifies the data that should be added. 'where'
specifies whether to add at the beginning or at the end of the
header. Defaults to 'BEHIND' if not given.
replace_in_header(header-field, new_data)
First element must be the header-field to be replaced while the
second argument must be a string indicating what will be the new
content of the header-field.
send(command, args)
Literally inherited from Mail::Internet. Commands can be "mail"
(using the UNIX-mail program), "sendmail" (using a configured
sendmail or compatible MTA like exim), "smtp" (for using Net::SMTP)
and "test" which will only display what would be sent using
/bin/echo. Additional arguments will be passed on to
Mail::Mailer->new() which is in fact what Mail::Internet->send()
uses.
