Mail::Message::ConstruUserTContributed Perl DMail::Message::Construct::Text(3)NAMEMail::Message::Construct::Text - capture a Mail::Message as text
SYNOPSIS
my $text = $msg->string;
my $text = "$msg"; # via overload
my @text = $msg->lines;
my @text = @$lines; # via overload
my $fh = $msg->file;
my $line = <$fh>;
$msg->printStructure;
DESCRIPTION
Complex functionality on Mail::Message objects is implemented in
different files which are autoloaded. This file implements the
functionality related to creating message replies.
METHODS
The whole message as text
$obj->file
Returns the message as file-handle.
$obj->lines
Returns the whole message as set of lines. In LIST context, copies
of the lines are returned. In SCALAR context, a reference to an
array of lines is returned.
$obj->printStructure([FILEHANDLE|undef],[INDENT])
Print the structure of a message to the specified FILEHANDLE or the
selected filehandle. When explicitly "undef" is specified as
handle, then the output will be returned as string.
The message's subject and the types of all composing parts are
displayed.
INDENT specifies the initial indentation string: it is added in
front of each line. The INDENT must contain at least one white-
space.
example:
my $msg = ...;
$msg->printStructure(\*OUTPUT);
$msg->printStructure;
my $struct = $msg->printStructure(undef);
# Possible output for one message:
multipart/mixed: forwarded message from Pietje Puk (1550 bytes)
text/plain (164 bytes)
message/rfc822 (1043 bytes)
multipart/alternative: A multipart alternative (942 bytes)
text/plain (148 bytes, deleted)
