Mail::Message::Convert - conversions between message types

 Mail::Message::Convert
   is a Mail::Reporter

 Mail::Message::Convert is extended by
   Mail::Message::Convert::Html
   Mail::Message::Convert::HtmlFormatPS
   Mail::Message::Convert::HtmlFormatText
   Mail::Message::Convert::MailInternet
   Mail::Message::Convert::MimeEntity
   Mail::Message::Convert::TextAutoformat

Available methods are very converter-specific.

This class is the base for various message (and message parts) converters. When the conversion does not change the contents of the body, most of the converters will return the source object. In any case, an Mail::Message::Body is returned with the conversion applied but as much of the other meta data stored in the source body unchanged.

In most cases, converters are created by Mail::Message when they are needed; have a look at the CWencode and CWdecoded methods on message objects.

The following converters are currently available:

* Mail::Message::Convert::Html

Plays tricks with HTML/XMHTML without help of external modules.

* Mail::Message::Convert::HtmlFormatText

Converts HTML body objects to plain text objects using the HTML::FormatText module.

* Mail::Message::Convert::HtmlFormatPS

Converts HTML body objects to Postscript objects using the HTML::FormatPS module.

* Mail::Message::Convert::MailInternet

Converts the simple Mail::Internet messages into Mail::Message objects.

* Mail::Message::Convert::MimeEntity

Converts the more complicated MIME::Entity messages into Mail::Message objects.

* Mail::Message::Convert::TextAutoformat

Converts a text message into text using Text::Autoformat.

Error: Package CW$package does not implement CW$method.

Fatal error: the specific package (or one of its superclasses) does not implement this method where it should. This message means that some other related classes do implement this method however the class at hand does not. Probably you should investigate this and probably inform the author of the package.
