=head1 NAME
Mail::Message::Replace::MailHeader - fake Mail::Header
=head1 INHERITANCE
Mail::Message::Replace::MailHeader
is a Mail::Message::Head::Complete
is a Mail::Message::Head
is a Mail::Reporter
=head1 SYNOPSIS
!!! ALPHA CODE !!!
# change
use Mail::Internet;
use Mail::Header;
# into
use Mail::Message::Replace::MailInternet;
# in existing code, and the code should still work, but
# with the Mail::Message features.
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module is a wrapper around a L<Mail::Message::Head::Complete|Mail::Message::Head::Complete>,
which simulates a L<Mail::Header> object. The name-space of that module
is hijacked and many methods are added.
Most methods will work without any change, but you should test your
software again. Small changes have been made to L<fold_length()|Mail::Message::Replace::MailHeader/"Simulating Mail::Header">,
L<header_hashref()|Mail::Message::Replace::MailHeader/"Simulating Mail::Header">.

=over 4
=item $obj-E<gt>B<add>(LINE, [INDEX])
Add a header line, which simply calls C<Mail::Message::Head::add()> on
the header for the specified LINE. The INDEX is ignored, the unfolded
body of the field is returned.

See L<Mail::Message::Head::Complete/"Access to the header">
=item $obj-E<gt>B<delete>(TAG, [INDEX])
Delete the fields with the specified TAG. The deleted fields are
returned. If no index is given, then all are removed.
=item $obj-E<gt>B<get>(NAME, [INDEX])
Get all the header fields with the specified NAME. In scalar context,
only the first fitting NAME is returned. Even when only one NAME is
specified, multiple lines may be returned in list context: some fields
appear more than once in a header.

Replace the field named TAG. from place INDEX (by default the first) by
the LINE. When TAG is C<undef>, it will be extracted from the LINE first.

=head2 Simulating Mail::Header
=over 4
=item $obj-E<gt>B<as_string>()
Returns the whole header as one big scalar.
Calls L<Mail::Message::Head::Complete::string()|Mail::Message::Head::Complete/"Access to the header">.
=item $obj-E<gt>B<cleanup>()
Cleanup memory usage. Not needed here.
=item $obj-E<gt>B<combine>(TAG, [WITH])
I do not see any valid reason for this command, so did not implement it.
=item $obj-E<gt>B<dup>()
Duplicate the header, which is simply L<clone()|Mail::Message::Head::Complete/"Constructors">.
=item $obj-E<gt>B<empty>()
Clean-out the whole hash. Better not use this (simply create another
header object), although it should work.
=item $obj-E<gt>B<exists>()
Returns whether there are any fields.
=item $obj-E<gt>B<extract>(ARRAY)
Extract (and remove) header fields from the array.
=item $obj-E<gt>B<fold>([LENGTH])
Refold all fields in the header, to LENGTH or whatever L<fold_length()|Mail::Message::Replace::MailHeader/"Simulating Mail::Header">
returns.
=item $obj-E<gt>B<fold_length>([[TAG], LENGTH])
Returns the line wrap, optionally after setting it to LENGTH. The
old value is returned. The TAG argument is ignored, because it is
silly to have different lines fold in different ways. This method
cannot be called statically anymore.
=item $obj-E<gt>B<header>([ARRAY])
Extract the fields from the ARRAY, if specified, and then fold the fields.
Returned is an array with all fields, produced via L<orderedFields()|Mail::Message::Head/"The header">.
=item $obj-E<gt>B<header_hashref>(HASH)
If you are using this method, you must be stupid... anyway: I do not want to
support it for now: use L<add()|Mail::Message::Replace::MailHeader/"Access to the header"> and friends.
=item $obj-E<gt>B<mail_from>(['IGNORE'|'ERROR'|'COERCE'|'KEEP'])
What to do when a header line in the form `From ' is encountered. Valid
values are C<IGNORE> - ignore and discard the header, C<ERROR> - invoke
an error (call die), C<COERCE> - rename them as Mail-From and C<KEEP>
- keep them.
=item $obj-E<gt>B<modify>([BOOLEAN])
Refold the headers when they are added.
=item $obj-E<gt>B<read>(FILE)
Read the header from the FILE.
=item $obj-E<gt>B<tags>()
Returns all the names of fields, implemented by
L<Mail::Message::Head::Complete::names()|Mail::Message::Head::Complete/"Access to the header">.
=item $obj-E<gt>B<unfold>([TAG])
Remove the folding for all instances of TAG, or all fields at once.
=back
=head2 The nasty bits
=over 4
=item $obj-E<gt>B<isa>(CLASS)
=item Mail::Message::Replace::MailHeader-E<gt>B<isa>(CLASS)
Of course, the C<isa()> class inheritance check should not see our
nasty trick.
=back
=head1 DIAGNOSTICS
=over 4
=item Warning: Cannot remove field $name from header: not found.
You ask to remove a field which is not known in the header. Using
L<delete()|Mail::Message::Replace::MailHeader/"Access to the header">, L<reset()|Mail::Message::Head::Complete/"Access to the header">, or L<set()|Mail::Message::Head::Complete/"Access to the header"> to do the job will not result
in warnings: those methods check the existence of the field first.
=item Warning: Field objects have an implied name ($name)
=item 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.
