SYNOPSIS

    use Email::MIME;
    use Email::MIME::XMTP;

    # Email::MIME::XMTP extra methods

DESCRIPTION

Email::MIME::XMTP extends Email::MIME to read and write XMTP.

METHODS

Methods are the same as the one of Email::MIME. With the addition of two extra ones for reading (parsing) and writing XMTP format. Plus one to set the elements/headers XML namespaces and prefixes.

parseXML

Parse an XML SOURCE containing an XMTP formatted message and return a mail object.

The parseXML method takes any of the following parameters:

               filename
               xml
               ioref

One must be spacefied - it is an error if none is passed.

This uses the familiar hash syntax, so an example might be:

        use Email::MIME::XMTP;
        my $mailer = new Email::MIME::XMTP;

        my $mail = $mailer->parseXML( filename => 'example-mail-xmtp.xml');

The parameters represent a filename, a string containing XML and an open filehandle ref respectively.

set_namespace( PREFIX, URI )

Set the XML Namespace PREFIX to URI.

Note a particular XML-Namespace can also be set and transported using the special MIME header X-XMTP-xmlns as follows:

 X-XMTP-xmlns-<prefix>: <uri>

And then further referred into the MIME message using a X-XMTP-<prefix> header like:

 X-XMTP-<prefix>: value

In a multipart message each part can have its scoped namespaces.

as_XML( [@FILTER_HEADERS] )

Returns an XML XMTP representation of a message. Optionally the FILTER_HEADERS array can be used to restrict the MIME headers to return. In case any special XML namespace is set, in addition to XMTP; the headers must be listed with their fully qualified XML QNAME e.g. myprefix:My-Header.
