SYNOPSIS

 See Mail::Message::Body

DESCRIPTION

READ Mail::Message::Body FIRST. This manual-page only describes the extensions to the default body functionality.

The body (content) of a message can be stored in various ways. In this documentation you find the description of extra functionality you have when a message is stored in a file.

Storing a whole message is a file is useful when the body is large. Although access through a file is slower, it is saving a lot of memory.
