=head1 NAME
Mail::Builder - Easily create plaintext/html e-mail messages with attachments,
inline images
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Mail::Builder;
my $mail = Mail::Builder->new();
$mail->from('mightypirate@meele-island.mq','Guybrush Threepwood');
$mail->to->add('manuel.calavera@dod.mx','Manuel Calavera');
$mail->cc->add('glotis@dod.mx');
$mail->subject('Party at Sam\'s place');
$mail->htmltext('
Party invitation
... ');
$mail->attachment->add('direction_samandmax.pdf');
# Send it with your favourite module (e.g. Email::Send)
my $mailer = Email::Send->new({mailer => 'Sendmail'})->send($mail->stringify);
# Or mess with MIME::Entity objects
my $mime = $mail->build_message;
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module helps you to build e-mails with attachments, inline images,
multiple recipients, ... without having to worry about the underlying MIME
stuff. Mail::Builder relies heavily on the L module from
the L distribution.
The module will create the correct MIME bodies, headers and containers
(multipart/mixed, multipart/related, multipart/alternative) depending on if
you use attachments, HTML text and inline images.
Addresses, attachments and inline images are handled as objects by helper
classes:
=over
=item * L
Stores an e-mail address and a display name.
=item * Attachments: L and L
This classes manages attachments which can be created either from files in the
filesystem or from data in memory.
=item * Inline images:L
The Address: Mail::Builder::Image class manages images that should be
displayed in the e-mail body.
=item * L
Helper class for handling list of varoius items (recipient lists, attachment
lists, ...)

=head1 METHODS
=head2 Constructors
=head3 new
This is a simple constructor. It does not expect any parameters.
=cut
sub new {
my $class = shift;
my $obj = bless {
boundary => 0,
from => undef,
reply => undef,
organization=> undef,
returnpath => undef,
to => Mail::Builder::List->new('Mail::Builder::Address'),
cc => Mail::Builder::List->new('Mail::Builder::Address'),
bcc => Mail::Builder::List->new('Mail::Builder::Address'),
priority => 3,
subject => '',
charset => 'utf-8',
plaintext => undef,
htmltext => undef,
language => undef,
attachment => Mail::Builder::List->new('Mail::Builder::Attachment'),
image => Mail::Builder::List->new('Mail::Builder::Image'),
messageid => undef,
},$class;
bless $obj,$class;
return $obj;
}
=head2 Public methods
=head3 stringify
Returns the e-mail message as a string. This string can be passed to modules
like L.
This method is just a shortcut to C<$mb-Ebuild_message-Estringify>
=cut
sub stringify {
my $obj = shift;
return $obj->build_message->stringify;
}
=head3 build_message
Returns the e-mail message as a MIME::Entity object. You can mess arround with
the object, change parts, ... as you wish.
Every time you call build_message the MIME::Entity object will be created,
which can take some time if you are sending bulk e-mails. In
order to increase the processing speed Mail::Builder::Attachment and
Mail::Builder::Image entities will be cached and only rebuilt if something
has changed.

=head2 Accessors
=head3 from, returnpath, reply
These accessors set/return the from and reply address as well as the
returnpath for bounced messages.
$obj->from(EMAIL[,NAME])
OR
$obj->from(Mail::Builder::Address)
This accessor always returns a Mail::Builder::Address object.
To change the attribute value you can either supply a L
object or scalar parameters which will be passed to
Cnew>. (email address, and an optional display
name)
=cut
sub from {
my $obj = shift;
return $obj->_address('from',@_);
}
sub returnpath {
my $obj = shift;
return $obj->_address('returnpath',@_);
}
sub reply {
my $obj = shift;
return $obj->_address('reply',@_);
}
=head3 to, cc, bcc
$obj->to(Mail::Builder::List)
OR
$obj->to(Mail::Builder::Address)
OR
$obj->to(EMAIL[,NAME])
This accessor always returns a L object containing
L objects.
To alter the values you can either
=over
=item * Manipulate the L object (add, remove, ...)
=item * Supply a L object. This will reset the current
list and add the object to the list.
=item * Supply a L object. The object replaces the old one.
=item * Scalar values will be passed to Cnew>
=back
The L package provides some basic methods for
manipulating the list of recipients. e.g.
$obj->to->add(EMAIL[,NAME])
OR
$obj->to->add(Mail::Builder::Address)
=cut
sub to {
my $obj = shift;
return $obj->_list('to',@_);
}
sub cc {
my $obj = shift;
return $obj->_list('cc',@_);
}
sub bcc {
my $obj = shift;
return $obj->_list('bcc',@_);
}
=head3 language
e-mail text language
=head3 messageid
Message ID of the e-mail. Read only and available only after the
C or C methods have been called.
=head3 organization
Accessor for the name of the senders organisation.
=head3 prioriy
Priority accessor. Accepts values from 1 to 5. The default priority is 3.
=head3 subject
e-mail subject accessor. Must be specified.
=head3 charset
Charset accessor. Defaults to 'utf-8'.
=head3 htmltext
HTML mail body accessor.
=head3 plaintext
Plaintext mail body accessor. This text will be autogenerated from htmltext
if not provided by the user. Simple formating (e.g. , ) will
be converted to pseudo formating.
The following html tags will be transformed:
=over
=item * I, EM
Italic text will be surounded by underscores. (_italic text_)
=item * H1, H2, H3, ...
Headlines will be replaced with two equal signs (== Headline)
=item * STRONG, B
Bold text will be marked by stars (*bold text*)
=item * HR
A horizontal rule is replaced with 60 dashes.
=item * BR
Single linebreak
=item * P, DIV
Two linebreaks
=item * IMG
Prints the alt text of the image if any.
=item * A
Prints the link url surrounded by brackets ([http://myurl.com text])
=item * UL, OL
All list items will be indented with a tab and prefixed with a start
(*) or an index number.
=item * TABLE, TR, TD, TH
Tables are converted into text using L
=back
=head3 attachment
$obj->attachment(Mail::Builder::List)
OR
$obj->attachment(Mail::Builder::Attachment)
OR
$obj->attachment(PATH[,NAME,MIME])
This accessor always returns a Mail::Builder::List object. If you supply
a L the list will be replaced.
If you pass a Mail::Builder::Attachment object or a scalar path (with an
optional name an mime type) the current list will be reset and the new
attachment will be added.
The L package provides some basic methods for
manipulating the list of recipients.
If you want to append an additional attachment to the list use
$obj->attachment->add(PATH[,NAME,MIME])
OR
$obj->attachment->add(Mail::Builder::Attachment)
=cut
sub attachment {
my $obj = shift;
return $obj->_list('attachment',@_);
}
=head3 image
$obj->image(Mail::Builder::List)
OR
$obj->image(Mail::Builder::Image)
OR
$obj->image(PATH[,ID])
This accessor always returns a Mail::Builder::List object. If you supply
a L the list will be replaced.
If you pass a Mail::Builder::Image object or a scalar path (with an
optional id) the current list will be reset and the new image will be added.
The L package provides some basic methods for
manipulating the list of recipients.
If you want to append an additional attachment to the list use
$obj->image->add(PATH[,ID])
OR
$obj->image->add(Mail::Builder::Image)
You can embed the image into the html mail body code by referencing the ID. If
you don't provide an ID the lowercase filename without the extension will be
used as the ID.
Only jpg, gif and png images may be added as inline images.
