SYNOPSIS
my Mail::Message $message = ...;
if($message->isMultipart) {
my Mail::Message::Part $part;
foreach $part ($message->body->parts) {
$part->print(\*OUT);
my $attached_head = $part->head;

my $attached_body = $part->decoded; # transfer-encoding removed
}
}
DESCRIPTION
A "Mail::Message::Part" object contains a message which is included in
the body of an other message. For instance attachments are parts.
READ Mail::Message FIRST. A part is a special message: it has a
reference to its parent message, and will usually not be sub-classed
into mail folder specific variants.

Constructing a message
$obj->bounce([RG-OBJECT|OPTIONS])
See "Constructing a message" in Mail::Message::Construct::Bounce
Mail::Message::Part->build([MESSAGE|PART|BODY], CONTENT)
See "Constructing a message" in Mail::Message::Construct::Build
Mail::Message::Part->buildFromBody(BODY, CONTAINER, HEADERS)
Shape a message part around a BODY. Bodies have information about
their content in them, which is used to construct a header for the
message. Next to that, more HEADERS can be specified. No headers
are obligatory. No extra headers are fabricated automatically.
example:
my $multi = Mail::Message::Body::Multipart->new;
my $part = Mail::Message::Part->buildFromBody($body, $multi);

Mail::Message::Part->coerce(BODY|MESSAGE, MULTIPART, HEADERS)
Transforms a BODY or MESSAGE to a real message part. The MULTIPART
refers to the parental body.
When ta BODY is specified, extra HEADERS can be supplied as well.
Bodies are coerced into message parts by calling buildFromBody().
If you specify a MESSAGE residing in a folder, this message will
automatically be cloned.

Cleanup
$obj->DESTROY
See "Cleanup" in Mail::Message
$obj->destruct
Message parts can not be destructed per part: only whole messages
can be forcefully freed from memory. Of course, you can delete()
separate parts, which only sets a flag not to write a part again.
Furthermore, you may cosider rebuild() to get rit of deleted parts.

DETAILSDIAGNOSTICS
Error: Cannot include forward source as $include.
Unknown alternative for the forward(include). Valid choices are
"NO", "INLINE", "ATTACH", and "ENCAPSULATE".
Error: Cannot include reply source as $include.
Unknown alternative for the "include" option of reply(). Valid
choices are "NO", "INLINE", and "ATTACH".
Error: Method bounce requires To, Cc, or Bcc
The message bounce() method forwards a received message off to
someone else without modification; you must specified it's new
destination. If you have the urge not to specify any destination,
you probably are looking for reply(). When you wish to modify the
content, use forward().
Error: Method forwardAttach requires a preamble
Error: Method forwardEncapsulate requires a preamble
Error: No address to create forwarded to.
If a forward message is created, a destination address must be
specified.
Error: No default mailer found to send message.
The message send() mechanism had not enough information to
automatically find a mail transfer agent to sent this message.
Specify a mailer explicitly using the "via" options.
Error: No rebuild rule $name defined.
Error: Only build() Mail::Message's; they are not in a folder yet
You may wish to construct a message to be stored in a some kind of
folder, but you need to do that in two steps. First, create a
normal Mail::Message, and then add it to the folder. During this
Mail::Box::addMessage() process, the message will get coerce()-d
into the right message type, adding storage information and the
like.
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.
Error: You cannot destruct message parts, only whole messages
Message parts can not be destructed per part: only whole messages
can be forcefully freed from memory. Consider delete() or
rebuild().
