Email Quick Assist
Email is one of the quickest, most convenient, and inexpensive ways of staying in touch with friends and family. Mac OS X makes it easy to send and receive email with a built-in email application called Mail. All you need is access to the Internet and an email account which is usually provided with your Internet account or you can even sign up for a .Mac trial account and get an @mac.com email.The first time you open Mail (by clicking the postage stamp icon in the Dock), your Mac automatically sets up an email account for you using the information in the .Mac pane of System Preferences. If you don't have a .Mac account (or haven't entered that information yet), Mail Setup Assistant opens to guide you through the process of setting up a new account—just enter the information provided by your Internet provider and you can create additional email accounts at any time.Once you've got your account set up, you're ready to send and receive email—we show you how to do both below. And if you're having difficulty sending or receiving email, we've got 10 things for you to try that'll help get you back in touch with the world again.

Email::Date(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation					  Email::Date(3pm)

NAME

       Email::Date - Find and Format Date Headers

SYNOPSIS

	 use Email::Date;

	 my $email = join '', <>;
	 my $date  = find_date($email);
	 print $date->ymd;

	 my $header = format_date($date->epoch);

	 Email::Simple->create(
	     header => [
		 Date => $header,
	     ],
	     body => '...',
	 );

DESCRIPTION

       RFC 2822 defines the "Date:" header. It declares the header a required part of an email message. The syntax for date headers is clearly
       laid out. Stil, even a perfectly planned world has storms. The truth is, many programs get it wrong. Very wrong. Or, they don't include a
       "Date:" header at all. This often forces you to look elsewhere for the date, and hoping to find something.

       For this reason, the tedious process of looking for a valid date has been encapsulated in this software. Further, the process of creating
       RFC compliant date strings is also found in this software.

   FUNCTIONS
       find_date
	     my $time_piece = find_date $email;

	   "find_date" accepts an email message in any format Email::Abstract can understand. It looks through the email message and finds a date,
	   converting it to a Time::Piece object.

	   If it can't find a date, it returns false.

	   "find_date" is exported by default.

       format_date
	     my $date = format_date; # now
	     my $date = format_date( time - 60*60 ); # one hour ago

	   "format_date" accepts an epoch value, such as the one returned by "time".  It returns a string representing the date and time of the
	   input, as specified in RFC 2822. If no input value is provided, the current value of "time" is used.

	   "format_date" is exported by default.

       format_gmdate
	     my $date = format_gmdate;

	   "format_gmdate" is identical to "format_date", but it will return a string indicating the time in Greenwich Mean Time, rather than
	   local time.

	   "format_gmdate" is exported on demand, but not by default.
