NAME

       Mail::Message::Convert - conversions between message types

INHERITANCE

	Mail::Message::Convert

SYNOPSIS

       Available methods are very converter-specific.

DESCRIPTION

       This class is the base for various message (and message parts) converters.

   Converters between message objects
       Internally, the Mail::Message::coerce() is called when foreign objects are used where message objects are expected.  That method will
       automatically create the converting objects, and re-use them.

       o   Mail::Message::Convert::MailInternet

	   Converts the simple Mail::Internet messages into Mail::Message objects.

       o   Mail::Message::Convert::MimeEntity

	   Converts the more complicated MIME::Entity messages into Mail::Message objects.

       o   Mail::Message::Convert::EmailSimple

	   Converts Email::Simple messages into Mail::Message objects.

   Other converters
       o   Mail::Message::Convert::Html

	   Plays tricks with HTML/XMHTML without help of external modules.

       o   Mail::Message::Convert::HtmlFormatText

	   Converts HTML body objects to plain text objects using the HTML::FormatText module.

       o   Mail::Message::Convert::HtmlFormatPS

	   Converts HTML body objects to Postscript objects using the HTML::FormatPS module.

       o   Mail::Message::Convert::TextAutoformat

	   Converts a text message into text using Text::Autoformat.

METHODS

   Constructors
       Mail::Message::Convert->new(OPTIONS)
	    -Option--Defined in     --Default
	     fields		      <see description>
	     log     Mail::Reporter   'WARNINGS'
	     trace   Mail::Reporter   'WARNINGS'

	   fields => NAMES|ARRAY-OF-NAMES|REGEXS
	     Select the fields of a header which are to be handled.  Other fields will not be used.  The value of this option is passed to
	     Mail::Message::Head::Complete::grepNames() whenever converters feel a need for header line selection.  By default, the "To", "From",
	     "Cc", "Bcc", "Date", "Subject", and their "Resent-" counterparts will be selected.  Specify an empty list to get all fields.

	   log => LEVEL
	   trace => LEVEL

   Converting
       $obj->selectedFields(HEAD)
	   Returns a list of fields to be included in the format.  The list is an ordered selection of the fields in the actual header, and
	   filtered through the information as specified with new(fields).

DIAGNOSTICS

       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.
