Courriel::Part::Multipart->new( ... )

This method creates a new part object. It accepts the following parameters:

• parts

  An array reference of part objects (either Single or Multipart). This is required, but could be empty.

• content_type

  A Courriel::Header::ContentType object. This defaults to one with a mime type of "multipart/mixed".

• boundary

  The part boundary. If none is provided, a unique value will be generated.

• preamble

  Content that appears before the first part boundary. This will be seen by email clients that don't understand multipart messages.

• epilogue

  Content that appears after the final part boundary. The spec allows for this, but it's probably not very useful.

• headers

  A Courriel::Headers object containing headers for this part.

$part->parts()

Returns an array (not a reference) of the parts this part contains.

$part->part_count()

Returns the number of parts this part contains.

$part->boundary()

Returns the part boundary.

$part->mime_type()

Returns the mime type for this part.

$part->content_type()

Returns the Courriel::Header::ContentType object for this part.

$part->headers()

Returns the Courriel::Headers object for this part.

$part->is_inline(), $part->is_attachment()

These methods always return false, but exist for the sake of providing a consistent API between Single and Multipart part objects.

$part->is_multipart()

Returns true.

$part->preamble()

The preamble as passed to the constructor.

$part->epilogue()

The epilogue as passed to the constructor.

$part->container()

Returns the Courriel or Courriel::Part::Multipart object to which this part belongs, if any. This is set when the part is added to another object.

$part->stream_to( output => $output )

This method will send the stringified part to the specified output. The output can be a subroutine reference, a filehandle, or an object with a "print()" method. The output may be sent as a single string, as a list of strings, or via multiple calls to the output.

$part->as_string()

Returns the part as a string, along with its headers. Lines will be terminated with "\r\n".
