NAME

Cyrus::Annotator::Message - representation of a message to annotate

SYNOPSIS

  use warnings;
  use strict;
  package MyAnnotatorDaemon;
  use base Cyrus::Annotator::Daemon;
  sub annotate_message
  {
      my ($message) = @_;
      $message->set_flag('\Flagged');
      $message->set_shared_annotation('/comment', 'Hello!!');
  }
  MyAnnotatorDaemon->run();

DESCRIPTION

This module encapsulates a message which is being processed by the annotator daemon.

METHODS

Cyrus::Annotator::Message has the following methods.

new(%args)

Takes the following args:

 # required
 * BODYSTRUCTURE => parsed bodystructure
 # optional (but you need to provide SOMETHING if your code uses any
 # of the accessors)
 * GUID => 40 character sha1
 * HEADER => Mail::Header object with headers pre-parsed
 * FILENAME => path to rfc822 file
 # totally optional (will be considered empty if not set)
 * FLAGS => array of already set flags
 * ANNOTATIONS => array of already set annotations
    

fh()

returns a read-only filehandle to the raw (rfc822) representation of the full message.

decode_part($Part, $Content)

Given some content, decode it from the part's content encoding and charset.

read_part_content($Part, $nbytes)

returns the first n bytes of the bodypart passed. This is a section of the bodystructure (hashref). If no part is passed, it's the raw message. If no 'nbytes' is passed, read the entire part.

header()

returns a Mail::Header object containing all the headers of the message.

bodystructure()

returns a structure is a structure closely based on the IMAP BODYSTRUCTURE, decoded into a hash, including recursively all MIME sections. In general, the following items are defined for all body structures:

guid()

returns the hex encoded (40 character) sha1 of the rfc822 representation.

has_flag($name)

set_flag($name)

clear_flag($name)

Check for the boolean value of a flag with $name, set the flag and remove the flag respectively. Note that changes are not immediate. They will be applied by the annotator at the end. For example:

  $message->set_flag("\\Flagged");
    

get_shared_annotation($entry)

get_private_annotation($entry)

set_shared_annotation($entry, $value)

set_private_annotation($entry, $value)

clear_shared_annotation($entry)

clear_private_annotation($entry)

Get, set and clear the value of an annotation, either shared or private. The "get" accessors return a string with the value. Clear is the same as set with $value of the empty string (''). For example:

  $message->set_shared_annotation('/comment', 'Hello World');
    

get_changed()

returns two arrayrefs - [['flagname', 'bool']] and [['entry', 'type', 'value']], e.g. [["\\Flagged", 1]], [['/comment', 'value.shared', 'Hello World']]
