NAME

Email::Thread - Use JWZ's mail threading algorithm with Email::Simple objects

VERSION

version 0.712

SYNOPSIS

    use Email::Thread;
    my $threader = Email::Thread->new(@messages);

    $threader->thread;

    dump_em($_,0) for $threader->rootset;

    sub dump_em {
        my ($self, $level) = @_;
        debug (' \\-> ' x $level);
        if ($self->message) {
            print $self->message->header("Subject") , "\n";
        } else {
            print "[ Message $self not available ]\n";
        }
        dump_em($self->child, $level+1) if $self->child;
        dump_em($self->next, $level) if $self->next;
    }

DESCRIPTION

Strictly speaking, this doesn't really need Email::Simple objects. It just needs an object that responds to the same API. At the time of writing the list of classes with the Email::Simple API comprises just Email::Simple.

Due to how it's implemented, its API is an exact clone of Mail::Thread. Please see that module's documentation for API details. Just mentally substitute Email::Thread everywhere you see Mail::Thread and Email::Thread::Container where you see Mail::Thread::Container.

THANKS

Simon Cozens (SIMON) for encouraging me to release it, and for Email::Simple and Mail::Thread.

Richard Clamp (RCLAMP) for the header patch.
