NAME

Email::Thread - Use JWZ's mail threading algorithm with Email::Simple objects

VERSION

version 0.713

SYNOPSIS

use Email::Thread;
my $threader = Email::Thread->new(@messages);

$threader->thread;

dump_em($_,0) for $threader->rootset;

sub dump_em {
    my ($self, $level) = @_;
    debug (' \\-> ' x $level);
    if ($self->message) {
        print $self->message->header("Subject") , "\n";
    } else {
        print "[ Message $self not available ]\n";
    }
    dump_em($self->child, $level+1) if $self->child;
    dump_em($self->next, $level) if $self->next;
}

DESCRIPTION

Strictly speaking, this doesn't really need Email::Simple objects. It just needs an object that responds to the same API. At the time of writing the list of classes with the Email::Simple API comprises just Email::Simple.

Due to how it's implemented, its API is an exact clone of Mail::Thread. Please see that module's documentation for API details. Just mentally substitute Email::Thread everywhere you see Mail::Thread and Email::Thread::Container where you see Mail::Thread::Container.

PERL VERSION

This module should work on any version of perl still receiving updates from the Perl 5 Porters. This means it should work on any version of perl released in the last two to three years. (That is, if the most recently released version is v5.40, then this module should work on both v5.40 and v5.38.)

Although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the minimum required version will not be increased. The version may be increased for any reason, and there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower the minimum required perl.

THANKS

Simon Cozens (SIMON) for encouraging me to release it, and for Email::Simple and Mail::Thread.

Richard Clamp (RCLAMP) for the header patch.
