Mail::Message::Part - a part of a message, but a message by itself

 Mail::Message::Part
   is a Mail::Message
   is a Mail::Reporter

 my Mail::Message $message = ...;
 if($message->isMultipart) {
    my Mail::Message::Part $part;
    foreach $part ($message->body->parts) {
       $part->print(\*OUT);
       my $attached_head = $part->head;
       my $attached_body = $part->body;      # encoded as read
       my $attached_body = $part->decoded;   # transfer-encoding removed
    }
 }

A "Mail::Message::Part" object contains a message which is included in the body of another message. For instance attachments are parts.

READ Mail::Message FIRST. A part is a special message: it has a reference to its parent message, and will usually not be sub-classed into mail folder specific variants.

Extends "Constructing a message" in Mail::Message.

Shape a message part around a $body. Bodies have information about their content in them, which is used to construct a header for the message. Next to that, more $headers can be specified. No headers are obligatory. No extra headers are fabricated automatically.

example:

 my $multi = Mail::Message::Body::Multipart->new;
 my $part  = Mail::Message::Part->buildFromBody($body, $multi);

$obj->clonedFrom()
Inherited, see "Internals" in Mail::Message
Transforms a $body or $message to a real message part. The $multipart refers to the parental body.

When ta $body is specified, extra @headers can be supplied as well. Bodies are coerced into message parts by calling buildFromBody(). If you specify a $message residing in a folder, this message will automatically be cloned.

Extends "Cleanup" in Mail::Message.

$obj->DESTROY()
Inherited, see "Cleanup" in Mail::Reporter
$obj->destruct()
Message parts can not be destructed per part: only whole messages can be forcefully freed from memory. Of course, you can delete() separate parts, which only sets a flag not to write a part again. Furthermore, you may cosider rebuild() to get rit of deleted parts.

Extends "DETAILS" in Mail::Message.

Unknown alternative for the forward(include). Valid choices are "NO", "INLINE", "ATTACH", and "ENCAPSULATE".
Unknown alternative for the "include" option of reply(). Valid choices are "NO", "INLINE", and "ATTACH".
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().
If a forward message is created, a destination address must be specified.
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.
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.
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.
Message parts can not be destructed per part: only whole messages can be forcefully freed from memory. Consider delete() or rebuild().
