NAME

Mail::Message::Head::Delayed - a not-read header of a Mail::Message

CLASS INHERITANCE

Mail::Message::Head::Delayed realizes a Mail::Message::Head::Complete which is a Mail::Message::Head is a Mail::Reporter

SYNOPSIS

 my Mail::Message::Head::Delayed $delayed = ...;
 $delayed->isa('Mail::Message::Head')  # true
 $delayed->guessBodySize               # undef
 $delayed->isDelayed                   # true

DESCRIPTION

This object is used as place-holder, to be replaced by a Mail::Message::Head when someone accesses the header of a message.

METHODS

Initiation

build FIELDS

You cannot create a delayed header with fields.

field_type => CLASS

Constructing a Header

add FIELD | LINE | (NAME,BODY[,ATTRS])

See Mail::Message::Head::Complete::add()

delete NAME

See Mail::Message::Head::Complete::delete()

removeField FIELD

See Mail::Message::Head::Complete::removeField()

reset NAME, FIELDS

See Mail::Message::Head::Complete::reset()

set FIELD | LINE | (NAME, BODY [,ATTRS])

See Mail::Message::Head::Complete::set()

Access to the Header

addResentGroup RESENT-GROUP|DATA

See Mail::Message::Head::Complete::addResentGroup()

count NAME

See Mail::Message::Head::Complete::count()

get NAME [,INDEX]

Get the information about the header line NAME. Realization will take place.

grepNames [NAMES|ARRAY-OF-NAMES|REGEXS]

See Mail::Message::Head::Complete::grepNames()

guessBodySize

On a delayed head, this retuns undef, because when there is no header there is also no body.

For messages in directory or network organized folders, Mail::Message::size() usually will give a figure for the whole message without much cost. Subtract a few hundred bytes for the header, and you will get a good estimate.

guessTimeStamp

Make a guess about when the message was origanally posted. On a delayed head, this returns undef. For messages in directory or network organized folders, Mail::Message::timestamp() usually will give a figure without much cost.
