Email::MIME::Header::AddressList - MIME support for list of Email::Address::XS objects

VERSION

version 1.953

SYNOPSIS

  my $address1 = Email::Address::XS->new('Name1' => 'address1@host.com');
  my $address2 = Email::Address::XS->new("Name2 \N{U+263A}" => 'address2@host.com');
  my $mime_address = Email::Address::XS->new('=?UTF-8?B?TmFtZTIg4pi6?=' => 'address2@host.com');

  my $list1 = Email::MIME::Header::AddressList->new($address1, $address2);

  $list1->append_groups('undisclosed-recipients' => []);

  $list1->first_address();
  # returns $address1

  $list1->groups();
  # returns (undef, [ $address1, $address2 ], 'undisclosed-recipients', [])

  $list1->as_string();
  # returns 'Name1 <address1@host.com>, "Name2 ☺" <address2@host.com>, undisclosed-recipients:;'

  $list1->as_mime_string();
  # returns 'Name1 <address1@host.com>, =?UTF-8?B?TmFtZTIg4pi6?= <address2@host.com>, undisclosed-recipients:;'

  my $list2 = Email::MIME::Header::AddressList->new_groups(Group => [ $address1, $address2 ]);

  $list2->append_addresses($address2);

  $list2->addresses();
  # returns ($address2, $address1, $address2)

  $list2->groups();
  # returns (undef, [ $address2 ], 'Group', [ $address1, $address2 ])

  my $list3 = Email::MIME::Header::AddressList->new_mime_groups('=?UTF-8?B?4pi6?=' => [ $mime_address ]);
  $list3->as_string();
  # returns '☺: "Name2 ☺" <address2@host.com>;'

  my $list4 = Email::MIME::Header::AddressList->from_string('Name1 <address1@host.com>, "Name2 ☺" <address2@host.com>, undisclosed-recipients:;');
  my $list5 = Email::MIME::Header::AddressList->from_string('Name1 <address1@host.com>', '"Name2 ☺" <address2@host.com>', 'undisclosed-recipients:;');

  my $list6 = Email::MIME::Header::AddressList->from_mime_string('Name1 <address1@host.com>, =?UTF-8?B?TmFtZTIg4pi6?= <address2@host.com>, undisclosed-recipients:;');
  my $list7 = Email::MIME::Header::AddressList->from_mime_string('Name1 <address1@host.com>', '=?UTF-8?B?TmFtZTIg4pi6?= <address2@host.com>', 'undisclosed-recipients:;');

DESCRIPTION

This module implements object representation for the list of the Email::Address::XS objects. It provides methods for RFC 2047 MIME encoding and decoding suitable for RFC 2822 address-list structure.

EXPORT

None

Class Methods

new_empty

Construct new empty Email::MIME::Header::AddressList object.

new

Construct new Email::MIME::Header::AddressList object from list of Email::Address::XS objects.

new_groups

Construct new Email::MIME::Header::AddressList object from named groups of Email::Address::XS objects.

new_mime_groups

Like new_groups but in this method group names and objects properties are expected to be already MIME encoded, thus ASCII strings.

from_string

Construct new Email::MIME::Header::AddressList object from input string arguments. Calls Email::Address::XS::parse_email_groups.

from_mime_string

Like from_string but input string arguments are expected to be already MIME encoded.

Object Methods

as_string

Returns string representation of Email::MIME::Header::AddressList object. Calls Email::Address::XS::format_email_groups.

as_mime_string

Like as_string but output string will be properly and unambiguously MIME encoded. MIME encoding is done before calling Email::Address::XS::format_email_groups.

first_address

Returns first Email::Address::XS object.

addresses

Returns list of all Email::Address::XS objects.

groups

Like addresses but returns objects with named groups.

append_addresses

Append Email::Address::XS objects.

append_groups

Like append_addresses but arguments are pairs of name of group and array reference of Email::Address::XS objects.

PERL VERSION

This library should run on perls released even a long time ago. It should work on any version of perl released in the last five years.

Although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the minimum required version will not be increased. The version may be increased for any reason, and there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower the minimum required perl.
