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.
