Mail::Box::File::Message - one message in a Mbox folder
Mail::Box::File::Message is a Mail::Box::Message is a Mail::Message is a Mail::Reporter Mail::Box::File::Message is extended by Mail::Box::Dbx::Message Mail::Box::Mbox::Message
my $folder = new Mail::Box::File folder => $ENV{MAIL}, ...; my $message = $folder->message(0);
Maintain one message in an file based folder, any Mail::Box::File extension.

The line which begins each message in the file. Some people detest this line, but this is just how things were invented...

Mbox folders contain multiple messages in one file, using a separator line to keep them apart. Typically, these lines start with "From ". Lines within the message could interfere with this separator, and should therefore be translated.
This method will return the escaped text of the body as reference.
Many people detest file-style folders because they store messages all in one file, where a line starting with From leads the header. If we receive a message from a file-based folder, we store that line. If we write to such a file, but there is no such line stored, then we try to generate one.
From
If $line is provided, then the starting line is set to this value.
Write one message to a file handle. It is the message including the leading 'From ' line and trailing blank. The From-line may interfere with lines in the body: those lines are escaped with an extra '>'.
example:
$msg->write(\*FILE); # print the message with encaps to FILE $msg->write; # message with encaps to selected filehandle $msg->print(\*FILE); # the message without encaps.

Returns the location of the whole message including the from-line. In LIST context, both begin and end are returned. In SCALAR context, only the begin is passed back.
The message is relocated in the file, being moved over $distance bytes. Setting a new location will update the according information in the header and body.
Read one message from a Mail::Box::File based folder, including the leading message separator.

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().
If a forward message is created, a destination address must be specified.
The message send() mechanism had not enough information to automatically find a mail transfer agent to sent this message. Specify a mailer explicitly using the via options.
via
You may wish to construct a message to be stored in a some kind of folder, but you need to do that in two steps. First, create a normal Mail::Message, and then add it to the folder. During this Mail::Box::addMessage() process, the message will get coerce()-d into the right message type, adding storage information and the like.
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.
