METHODS
Methods are the same as the one of Email::MIME. With the addition of two extra ones for reading (parsing) and writing XMTP format. Plus one to set the elements/headers XML namespaces and prefixes.
parseXML
Parse an XML SOURCE containing an XMTP formatted message and return a mail object.
The parseXML method takes any of the following parameters:
filename
xml
iorefOne must be spacefied - it is an error if none is passed.
This uses the familiar hash syntax, so an example might be:
use Email::XMTP;
my $mailer = new Email::XMTP;
my $mail = $mailer->parseXML( filename => 'example-mail-xmtp.xml');The parameters represent a filename, a string containing XML and an open filehandle ref respectively.
set_namespace( PREFIX, URI )
Set the XML Namespace PREFIX to URI.
Note a particular XML-Namespace can also be set and transported using the special MIME header X-XMTP-xmlns as follows:
X-XMTP-xmlns-<prefix>: <uri>And then further referred into the MIME message using a X-XMTP-<prefix> header like:
X-XMTP-<prefix>: valueIn a multipart message each part can have its scoped namespaces.
as_XML( [@FILTER_HEADERS] )
Returns an XML XMTP representation of a message. Optionally the FILTER_HEADERS array can be used to restrict the MIME headers to return. In case any special XML namespace is set, in addition to XMTP; the headers must be listed with their fully qualified XML QNAME e.g. myprefix:My-Header.
