Unified Interface to Mail Representations

Edit Package perl-Email-Abstract

Email::Abstract provides module writers with the ability to write representation-independent mail handling code. For instance, in the cases of Mail::Thread or Mail::ListDetector, a key part of the code involves reading the headers from a mail object. Where previously one would either have to specify the mail class required, or to build a new object from scratch, Email::Abstract can be used to perform certain simple operations on an object regardless of its underlying representation.
Email::Abstract currently supports Mail::Internet, MIME::Entity, Mail::Message, Email::Simple and Email::MIME. Other representations are encouraged to create their own Email::Abstract::* class by copying Email::Abstract::EmailSimple. All modules installed under the Email::Abstract hierarchy will be automatically picked up and used.

       If present, MIME::Entity must be v5.501; v5.500 had a regression (or
       a bug fix, depending how you look at it) that broke header-reading.
       While technically older versions that are not 5.500 would work, it is
       much simpler to just require the newest version, rather than to
       support a version range with a hole in it.
       replace Class::ISA with mro (MRO::Compat)
       avoid a warning in MailInternet with zero headers found
