Gladly, it can be distributed as if it is a normal +distribution as well. + +B<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. + +=head2 Component + +In this distribution, you find + +=over 4 + +=item Mail::Address + +Parse email address from a header line. + +=item Mail::Cap + +Interpret mailcap files: mappings of file-types to applications as used +by many command-line email programs. + +=item Mail::Field + +Simplifies access to (some) email header fields. Used by L<Mail::Header|Mail::Header>. + +=item Mail::Filter + +Process L<Mail::Internet|Mail::Internet> messages. + +=item Mail::Header + +Collection of L<Mail::Field|Mail::Field> objects, representing the header of a +L<Mail::Internet|Mail::Internet> object. + +=item Mail::Internet + +Represents a single email message, with header and body. + +=item Mail::Mailer + +Send L<Mail::Internet|Mail::Internet> emails via direct smtp or local MTA's. + +=item Mail::Send + +Build a L<Mail::Internet|Mail::Internet> object, and then send it out using +L<Mail::Mailer|Mail::Mailer>. + +=item Mail::Util + +"Smart functions" you should not depend on. + +=back + +=head1 SEE ALSO + +This module is part of the MailTools distribution, +F<http://perl.overmeer.net/mailtools/>. + +=head1 AUTHORS + +The MailTools bundle was developed by Graham Barr.
