Mail::Message::Dummy - a placeholder for a missing messages
Mail::Message::Dummy
is a Mail::Message
is a Mail::Reporter
Dummy messages are used by modules which maintain ordered lists of
messages, usually based on message-id. A good example is
Mail::Box::Thread::Manager, which detects related messages by scanning the
known message headers for references to other messages. As long as the
referenced messages are not found inside the mailbox, their place is
occupied by a dummy.
Be careful when using modules which may create dummies. Before
trying to access the header or body use isDummy() to check if the
message is a dummy message.

- Error: Cannot coerce a
$class object into a $class object
- Error: Cannot include
forward source as $include.
- Unknown alternative for the forward(include). Valid choices are
"NO",
"INLINE",
"ATTACH", and
"ENCAPSULATE".
- Error: Cannot include
reply source as $include.
- Unknown alternative for the "include"
option of reply(). Valid choices are
"NO",
"INLINE", and
"ATTACH".
- Error: Message-Id is
required for a dummy.
- A dummy message occupies the place for a real message. When a dummy is
created, the id of the message which place it is holding must be
known.
- Error: Method bounce
requires To, Cc, or Bcc
- The message bounce() 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 reply(). When you wish to modify the
content, use forward().
- Error: Method
forwardAttach requires a preamble
- Error: Method
forwardEncapsulate requires a preamble
- Error: No address to
create forwarded to.
- If a forward message is created, a destination address must be
specified.
- Error: No default
mailer found to send message.
- The message send() mechanism had not enough information to
automatically find a mail transfer agent to sent this message. Specify a
mailer explicitly using the "via"
options.
- Error: No rebuild
rule $name defined.
- 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
Mail::Message, and then add it to the folder. During this
Mail::Box::addMessage() process, the message will get
coerce()-d into the right message type, adding storage information
and the like.
- 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.
- Error: You cannot
take the head/body of a dummy message
- Dummy messages are place-holders in message threads: the thread detected
the existence of the message, because it found the message-id in a
Reply-To or References field, however it did not find the header and body
of the message yet. Use isDummy() to check whether the thread node
returned a dummy or not.
- Error: coercion
starts with some object
