# Mail::Message::Convert::MimeEntity - phpMan

## NAME
    [Mail::Message::Convert::MimeEntity] - translate [Mail::Message] to
    [MIME::Entity] vv

## INHERITANCE
     [Mail::Message::Convert::MimeEntity]
       is a [Mail::Message::Convert]
       is a [Mail::Reporter]

## SYNOPSIS
     use [Mail::Message::Convert::MimeEntity];
     my $convert = [Mail::Message::Convert::MimeEntity]->new;

     my [Mail::Message] $msg    = [Mail::Message]->new;
     my [MIME::Entity]  $entity = $convert->export($msg);

     my [MIME::Entity]  $entity = [MIME::Entity]->new;
     my [Mail::Message] $msg    = $convert->from($entity);

     use [Mail::Box::Manager];
     my $mgr     = [Mail::Box::Manager]->new;
     my $folder  = $mgr->open(folder => 'Outbox');
     $folder->addMessage($entity);

## DESCRIPTION
    The [MIME::Entity] extends [Mail::Internet] message with multiparts and more
    methods. The [Mail::Message] objects are more flexible in how the message
    parts are stored, and uses separate header and body objects.

    Extends "DESCRIPTION" in [Mail::Message::Convert].

## METHODS
    Extends "METHODS" in [Mail::Message::Convert].

  Constructors
    Extends "Constructors" in [Mail::Message::Convert].

    [Mail::Message::Convert::MimeEntity]->new(%options)
        Inherited, see "METHODS" in [Mail::Message::Convert]

  Converting
    Extends "Converting" in [Mail::Message::Convert].

    $obj->export( $message, [$parser] )
        Returns a new [MIME::Entity] message object based on the information
        from the $message, which is a [Mail::Message] object.

        You may want to supply your own $parser, which is a [MIME::Parser]
        object, to change the parser flags. Without a $parser object, one is
        created for you, with all the default settings.

        If "undef" is passed, in place of a $message, then an empty list is
        returned. When the parsing failes, then [MIME::Parser] throws an
        exception.

        example:

         my $convert = [Mail::Message::Convert::MimeEntity]->new;
         my [Mail::Message] $msg  = [Mail::Message]->new;
         my manual [MIME::Entity]  $copy = $convert->export($msg);

    $obj->from($mime_object)
        Returns a new [Mail::Message] object based on the information from the
        specified [MIME::Entity]. If the conversion fails, the "undef" is
        returned. If "undef" is passed in place of an OBJECT, then an empty
        list is returned.

        example:

         my $convert = [Mail::Message::Convert::MimeEntity]->new;
         my [MIME::Entity]  $msg  = [MIME::Entity]->new;
         my [Mail::Message] $copy = $convert->from($msg);

## DIAGNOSTICS
    Error: Converting from [MIME::Entity] but got a $type, return
    Error: Package $package does not implement $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.
