NAME

Mail::Message::Body::String - body of a Mail::Message stored as single string

CLASS HIERARCHY

 Mail::Message::Body::String
 is a Mail::Message::Body + ::Construct + ::Encode
 is a Mail::Reporter

SYNOPSIS

 See Mail::Message::Body

DESCRIPTION

READ Mail::Message::Body FIRST. This documentation 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 will find the description of extra functionality you have when a message is stored as a single scalar.

Storing a whole message in one string is only a smart choice when the content is small or encoded. Even when stored as a scalar, you can still treat the body as if the data is stored in lines or an external file, but this will be slower.
