DESCRIPTION

       This class represents a multipart email part which contains other parts.

API

       This class provides the following methods:

   Courriel::Part::Multipart->new( ... )
       This method creates a new part object. It accepts the following parameters:

       o   parts

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

       o   content_type

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

       o   boundary

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

       o   preamble

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

       o   epilogue

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

       o   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.

       See the "as_string()" method for documentation on the "charset" parameter.

   $part->as_string()
       Returns the part as a string, along with its headers. Lines will be terminated with "
".

ROLES

       This class does the "Courriel::Role::Part" and Courriel::Role::Streams roles.
