# 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.

"Smart functions" you should not depend on.
