MailTools - bundle of ancient email modules

 # This is a place-holder for the distribution

MailTools is a bundle: an ancient form of combining packages into one distribution. Gladly, it can be distributed as if it is a normal distribution as well.

Be warned: The code you find here is very old. It works for simple emails, but when you start with new code then please use more sofisticated libraries. The main reason that you still find this code on CPAN, is because many books use it as example.

In this distribution, you find

Mail::Address Parse email address from a header line.

Mail::Cap Interpret mailcap files: mappings of file-types to applications as used by many command-line email programs.

Mail::Field Simplifies access to (some) email header fields. Used by Mail::Header.

Mail::Filter Process Mail::Internet messages.

Mail::Header Collection of Mail::Field objects, representing the header of a Mail::Internet object.

Mail::Internet Represents a single email message, with header and body.

Mail::Mailer Send Mail::Internet emails via direct smtp or local MTA's.

Mail::Send Build a Mail::Internet object, and then send it out using Mail::Mailer.

Mail::Util "Smart functions" you should not depend on.
