Email::MIME::RFC2047 Description

Correct handling of non-ASCII MIME headers Email::MIME::RFC2047 is a set of modules that tries to provide a correct and usable implementation of RFC 2047 "MIME Part Three: Message Header Extensions for Non-ASCII Text". The Encode module also provides RFC 2047 encoding and decoding but it still has some bugs regarding strict standards compatibility. More importantly, a useful API should handle the different situations where RFC 2047 encoded headers are used. Section 5 of the RFC defines three use cases for 'encoded-words':(1) As a replacement of 'text' tokens, for example in a Subject header(2) In comments, this case isn't handled by this module(3) As a replacement for a 'word' entity within a 'phrase', for example, one that precedes an address in a From, To, or Cc headerEspecially, case (3) requires the handling of quoted strings as defined by RFC 822. So the encoding and decoding modules provide separate methods for the handling of text and phrases.Since parsing and encoding of phrases makes up the bulk of handling address headers like From, To or Cc, additional modules to handle these headers are also provided.SYNOPSIS use Email::MIME; # create headers with non-ASCII chars use Email::MIME::RFC2047::Encoder; use Email::MIME::RFC2047::Mailbox; my $email = Email::MIME->create(); my $encoder = Email::MIME::RFC2047::Encoder->new( encoding => 'utf-8', method => 'Q', ); $email->header_set(Subject => $encoder->encode_text($non_ascii_subject)); my $to_address = Email::MIME::RFC2047::Mailbox->new( name => $non_ascii_name, address => $email_address, ); $email->header_set(To => $to_address->format($encoder)); # parse headers with non-ASCII chars use Email::MIME::RFC2047::Decoder; my $email = Email::MIME->new($message); my $decoder = Email::MIME::RFC2047::Decoder->new(); my $subject = $decoder->decode_text($email->header('Subject')); my $to_address = Email::MIME::RFC2047::AddressList->parse( $email->header('To') ); Requirements: · Perl
