=head1 NAME

Mail::Message::Body::File - body of a message temporarily stored in a file

=head1 INHERITANCE

 Mail::Message::Body::File
   is a Mail::Message::Body
   is a Mail::Reporter

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 See Mail::Message::Body

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The body (content) of a message can be stored in various ways.  In this
documentation you find the description of extra functionality you have
when a message is stored in a file.

Storing a whole message is a file is useful when the body is large.  Although
access through a file is slower, it is saving a lot of memory.

=head1 DIAGNOSTICS

=over 4

=item Error: Cannot write to temporary body file $filename: $!

The message body is to be stored in a temporary file (probably because it is a
large body), but for the indicated reason, this file cannot be created.

=item Warning: Charset $name is not known

The encoding or decoding of a message body encounters a character set which
is not understood by Perl's Encode module.

=item Warning: No decoder defined for transfer encoding $name.

The data (message body) is encoded in a way which is not currently understood,
therefore no decoding (or recoding) can take place.

=item Warning: No encoder defined for transfer encoding $name.

The data (message body) has been decoded, but the required encoding is
unknown.  The decoded data is returned.

=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.

=item Error: Unable to read file $filename for message body file: $!

A L<Mail::Message::Body::File|Mail::Message::Body::File> object is to be created from a named file, but
it is impossible to read that file to retrieve the lines within.  Therefore,
no copy to a temporary file can be made.

=item Warning: Unknown line terminator $eol ignored
