NAME

Tie::Eudora - encode/decode emails, read/write emails in Eudora mailbox files

SYNOPSIS

 ####
 # Subroutine interface
 #
 \$encoded_email  = decode_record(\$mailbox_email); 
 \@email          = decode_field(\$encoded_email);

 \$encoded_email  = encode_field (\@email);
 \$mailbox_email  = encode_record(\$encoded_email);

 #####
 # Object Interface
 # 
 $eudora = Tie::Form->new(@options);

 \$encoded_email   = $eudora->decode_record(\$record); 
 \@email           = $eudora->decode_field(\$encoded_email);

 \$encoded_email   = $eudora->encode_field (\@email);
 \$mailbox_email   = $eudora->encode_record(\$encoded_email);

 $mailbox_email    = $eudora->get_record();
 $success          = $eudora->put_record($mailbox_email);

 ####
 # use file subroutines to write/read Eudora mailbox files
 #
 tie *MAILBOX, 'Tie::Eudora';
 open MAILBOX,'>',$mbx;
 print MAILBOX @mailbox;
 close MAILBOX;

 open MAILBOX,'<',$mbx;
 @mailbox = <MAILBOX>;
 close MAILBOX;

DESCRIPTION

The Tie::Eudora program module provides a File Handle Tie package for reading and writing of Eudora mailbox files. The Tie::Eudora package handles each email in Eudora mailbox files as a record. Each record is read and written not as a scalar text string but as an array of field-name, field-body pairs corresponding to the header and body fields in the email.

Email Array

An email array, @email, is an array of field-name, field-body pairs where the even index array members are the field-name and the odd index array members are the field-values. The field-name, field-body pairs, except for the last pair, are as specified in RFC 822, http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc822.txt, and are in the order that they appear in an $encoded_email encoded in accordance with RFC 822. The last field-name, field-body pair has a field-name of 'X-Body' and the field-body contents is the body of the $encoded_email.

Mailbox Array

A mailbox array, @mailbox, is a list of references to email arrays.

REQUIREMENTS

Eudora Mailbox Format

A @mailbox array, written using the appropriate Tie::Eudora package file subroutines, shall[1] produce a Eudora mailbox file that can be read by Eudora 5.0. One appropriate use of the Tie::Eudora package subroutines to create a Eudora mailbox file is as follows:

 tie *MAILBOX, 'Tie::Eudora';
 open MAILBOX,'>',$mbx;
 print MAILBOX @Write_mailbox;
 close MAILBOX;

Eudora Mailbox Lossless

The @read_mailbox array from reading a mailbox file in accordance with Eudora Mailbox Format using the appropriate Tie::Eudora package file subroutines, shall[1] be exactly the same as the mailbox array @write_mailbox used to write the Eudora mailbox file. One appropriate use of the Tie::Eudora package subroutines to read a Eudora mailbox file is as follows:

 tie *MAILBOX, 'Tie::Eudora';
 open MAILBOX,'<',$mbx;
 @read_mailbox = <MAILBOX>;
 close MAILBOX;

RFC822 Email Format

A @mailbox array, written using the Tie::Eudora package file subroutines, shall[1] create a Eudora mailbox file that can be read by Eudora 5.0. A typical use of the Tie::Eudora package subroutines are as follows:

 tie *MAILBOX, 'Tie::Eudora';
 open MAILBOX,'>',$mbx;
 print MAILBOX @Write_mailbox;
 close MAILBOX;

RFC822 Email Lossless

The @read_mailbox array from reading a mailbox file in accordance with Eudora[1] using the Tie::Eudora package file subroutines, shall[1] be exactly the same as the mailbox array @write_mailbox used to write the Eudora mailbox file.

 tie *MAILBOX, 'Tie::Eudora';
 open MAILBOX,'<',$mbx;
 @read_mailbox = <MAILBOX>;
 close MAILBOX;
