NAME

SWISH::Prog::Aggregator::MailFS - crawl a filesystem of email messages

SYNOPSIS

use SWISH::Prog::Aggregator::MailFS;
my $fs = SWISH::Prog::Aggregator::MailFS->new(
       indexer => SWISH::Prog::Indexer->new
   );
   
$fs->indexer->start;
$fs->crawl( $path_to_mail );
$fs->indexer->finish;

DESCRIPTION

SWISH::Prog::Aggregator::MailFS is a subclass of SWISH::Prog::Aggregator::FS that expects every file in a filesystem to be an email message. This class is useful for crawling a file tree like those managed by ezmlm.

NOTE: This class will not work with personal email boxes in the Mbox format. It might work with maildir format, but that is coincidental. Use SWISH::Prog::Aggregator::Mail to handle your personal email box. Use this class to handle mail archives as with a mailing list.

METHODS

See SWISH::Prog::Aggregator::FS. Only new or overridden methods are documented here.

init

Constructor.

file_ok( full_path )

Like the parent class method, but ignores file extension, assuming that all files are email messages.

Returns the full_path value if the file is ok for indexing; returns 0 if not ok.

get_doc( url )

Overrides parent class to delegate the creation of the SWISH::Prog::Doc object to SWISH::Prog::Aggregator::Mail->get_doc().

Returns a SWISH::Prog::Doc object.
