# Chapter 51. Mail::Message Module

# Mail::Message Overview

Mail::Message object provides several methods to analyze a message and manipulate messages or parts of a message.

Precisely speaking, this module analyzes the specified mail message and build a chain of Mail::Message objects.

    If not multipart

       header -> body

    else if multipart

       header -> preamble -> part1 -> part2 -> ... -> trailor

The link between objects is double link list. Mail::Message class provides several methods to manipulate these structures.

Each part of this chain is a Mail::Message object. In other words, one mail message consits of a chain of plural Mail::Message objects in fml8 internal.

For example, "header" is a Mail::Message, which type is text/rfc822-headers and the data is stored as Mail::Header object. Instead "part1" is a Mail::Message object, which type is text/plain and the data is reference to the message string.
