DETAILS

Settings

You can specify the following settings in HTML::FromMail::new(settings) for topic field:

address HOW

Some fields are pre-defined to contain e-mail addresses. In many web-based clients, you see that these addresses are bluntly linked to, but you here have a choice. As example, the header field contains the address "My Name" <me@example.com> you@example.com

The possible settings for this parameter are

  • 'PLAIN'

    Show the address as was specified in the message header, without smart processing. "My Name" <me@example.com > you@example.com

  • 'PHRASE'

    According to the standards, the phrase is ment to represent the user in an understandable way. Usually this is the full name of the user. No link is made. My Name you@example.com

  • 'ADDRESS'

    Only show the address of the users. my@example.com you@example.com

  • 'MAILTO'

    Create a link behind the phrase. In case there is no phrase, the address itself is displayed. This is the most convenient link, if you decide to create a link. <a href="mailto:me@example.com">My Name </a> <a href="mailto:you@example.com">you@example.com </a>

  • 'LINK'

    Often seen, but more for simplicity of implementation is the link under the address. The 'MAILTO' is probably easier to understand. "My Name" <a href="mailto:me@example.com">me@example.com</a> <a href="mailto:you@example.com">you@example.com</a>

content HOW

Defined HOW field bodies are handled, by default UNFOLDED. Valid values are

'FOLDED'

Included the content FOLDED as found in the source message. This is the fastest choice, and usually in a preformatted html block, otherwise the folding will be lost again.

'REFOLD'

Do not accept the folding as found in the message headers, but force it into the wrap which is defined by wrap.

'UNFOLDED'

All line folding is removed from the field. This useful when the field body is displayed in a proportional font.

'DECODED'

Fields may be character-set encoded. Decoding these fields is nicest, but consumes considerable time.

names HOW

Defines HOW field names are displayed: either 'WELLFORMED' or 'UNCHANGED'. Field names have a certain capitization (as defined by the message), but this may be different from the preferred use of capitals. The correct use of capitals is implemented by Mail::Message::Field subroutine wellformedName and will be used when WELLFORMED is selected. By default, the names are displayed UNCHANGED.

. Example: using HTML::FromMail::Format::Magic

<!--{name capitals => WELLFORMED}-->

wrap INTEGER

Used in combination with content REFOLD, to specify how many characters are requested per line.
