NAME

       Mail::Message::Construct::Bounce - bounce a Mail::Message

SYNOPSIS

	$message->bounce(To => 'you')->send;

DESCRIPTION

       Complex functionality on Mail::Message objects is implemented in different files which are autoloaded.  This file implements the
       functionality related to bouncing messages off to other destinations.

METHODS

   Constructing a message
       $obj->bounce([RG-OBJECT|OPTIONS])
	   The program calling this method considers itself as an intermediate step in the message delivery process; it therefore leaves a resent
	   group of header fields as trace.

	   When a message is received, the Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) adds a "Received" field to the header.  As OPTIONS, you may specify lines
	   which are added to the resent group of that received field.	"Resent-*" is prepended before the field-names automatically, unless
	   already present.

	   You may also specify an instantiated Mail::Message::Head::ResentGroup (RG) object.  See Mail::Message::Head::ResentGroup::new() for the
	   available options.  This is required if you want to add a new resent group: create a new "Received" line in the header as well.

	   If you are planning to change the body of a bounce message, don't!  Bounced messages have the same message-id as the original message,
	   and therefore should have the same content (message-ids are universally unique).  If you still insist, use Mail::Message::body().

	   example:

	    my $bounce = $folder->message(3)->bounce(To => 'you', Bcc => 'everyone');

	    $bounce->send;
	    $outbox->addMessage($bounce);

	    my $rg     = Mail::Message::Head::ResentGroup->new(To => 'you',
	       Received => 'from ... by ...');
	    $msg->bounce($rg)->send;

DIAGNOSTICS

       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().
