SYNOPSIS

my Mail::Message $msg = ...;
my $body = $msg->body;
my @text = $body->lines;
my $text = $body->string;
my IO::Handle $file = $body->file;
$body->print(*FILE);

my $content_type = $body->type;
my $transfer_encoding = $body->transferEncoding;
my $encoded = $body->encode(mime_type => text/html,
charset => us-ascii, transfer_encoding => none);n";
my $decoded = $body->decoded;

The encoding and decoding functionality of a Mail::Message::Body is implemented in the Mail::Message::Body::Encode package. That package is automatically loaded when encoding and decoding of messages needs to take place. Methods to simply build an process body objects are implemented in Mail::Message::Body::Construct.

The body of a message (a Mail::Message object) is stored in one of the many body types. The functionality of each body type is equivalent, but there are performance differences. Each body type has its own documentation with details about its implementation.
