=head1 NAME
Mail::Box::Dir::Message - one message in a directory organized folder
=head1 INHERITANCE
Mail::Box::Dir::Message
is a Mail::Box::Message
is a Mail::Message
is a Mail::Reporter
Mail::Box::Dir::Message is extended by
Mail::Box::MH::Message
Mail::Box::Maildir::Message
=head1 SYNOPSIS
my
$folder
= new Mail::Box::MH ...
my
$message
=
$folder
->message(10);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
A C<Mail::Box::Dir::Message> is a base class
for
one message in a
directory organized folder;
each
message is stored in a separate file.
There are
no
objects of type C<Mail::Box::Dir::Message>, only extensions
are allowed to be created.
At the moment, three of these extended message types are implemented:
=over 4
=item * L<Mail::Box::MH::Message|Mail::Box::MH::Message>
which represents one message in a L<Mail::Box::MH|Mail::Box::MH> folder. MH folders are
very, very simple.... and hence not sophisticated nor fast.
=item * L<Mail::Box::Maildir::Message|Mail::Box::Maildir::Message>
which represents one message in a L<Mail::Box::Maildir|Mail::Box::Maildir> folder. Flags are
kept in the message's filename. It is stateless, so you will never loose
a message.
=item * Mail::Box::Netzwert::Message
which represents one message in a Mail::Box::Netzwert folder. As advantage,
it stores pre-parsed information in the message file. As disadvantage: the
code is not GPLed (yet).

=head1 DETAILS
=head1 DIAGNOSTICS
I<Error:> Cannot create parser
for
$filename
.
For some reason (the previous message have told you already) it was not possible
to create a message parser
for
the specified filename.
I<Error:> Cannot include forward source as
$include
.
Unknown alternative
for
the L<forward(include)|Mail::Message::Construct::Forward/
"Constructing a message"
>. Valid choices are
C<NO>, C<INLINE>, C<ATTACH>, and C<ENCAPSULATE>.
I<Error:> Cannot include reply source as
$include
.
Unknown alternative
for
the C<include> option of L<reply()|Mail::Message::Construct::Reply/
"Constructing a message"
>. Valid
choices are C<NO>, C<INLINE>, and C<ATTACH>.
I<Error:> Cannot
write
message to
$filename
: $!
When a modified or new message is written to disk, it is first written
to a temporary file in the folder directory. For some reason, it is
impossible to create this file.
I<Error:> Failed to move
$new
to
$filename
: $!
When a modified or new message is written to disk, it is first written
to a temporary file in the folder directory. Then, the new file is
moved to replace the existing file. Apparently, the latter fails.
I<Error:> Method bounce requires To, Cc, or Bcc
The message L<bounce()|Mail::Message::Construct::Bounce/
"Constructing a message"
> 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
L<reply()|Mail::Message::Construct::Reply/
"Constructing a message"
>. When you wish to modify the content,
use
L<forward()|Mail::Message::Construct::Forward/
"Constructing a message"
>.
I<Error:> Method forwardAttach requires a preamble
I<Error:> Method forwardEncapsulate requires a preamble
I<Error:> No address to create forwarded to.
If a forward message is created, a destination address must be specified.
I<Error:> No
default
mailer found to
send
message.
The message L<
send
()|Mail::Message/
"The message"
> mechanism had not enough information to automatically
find a mail transfer agent to sent this message. Specify a mailer
explicitly using the C<via> options.
I<Error:> No rebuild rule
$name
defined
.
I<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 L<Mail::Message|Mail::Message>, and then add it to the folder. During this
L<Mail::Box::addMessage()|Mail::Box/
"The folder"
> process, the message will get L<coerce()|Mail::Message/
"Internals"
>-d
into the right message type, adding storage information and the like.
I<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
.
I<Error:> Unable to
read
delayed body.
For some reason, the header of the message could be
read
, but the body
cannot. Probably the file
has
disappeared or the permissions were
changed during the progress of the program.
I<Error:> Unable to
read
delayed head.
Mail::Box tries to be I<lazy>
with
respect to parsing messages. When a
directory organized folder is opened, only the filenames of messages are
collected. At first
use
, the messages are
read
from their file. Apperently,
a message is used
for
the first
time
here, but
has
disappeared or is
unreadible
for
some other reason.
