Mail::Message Module: Analyze

parse() analyzes the file. The argument is the file name or the file handle for the file which should be specified at the argument.

data_type_list() returns information of the chain. The return value is array reference. For example, MIME/multipart consists of the following objects.

  type[ 1]: text/rfc822-headers       | multipart/mixed
  type[ 2]: multipart/mixed           | multipart/mixed
  type[ 3]: multipart.preamble        | multipart/mixed
  type[ 4]: multipart.delimiter       | multipart/mixed
  type[ 5]: text/plain                | multipart/mixed
  type[ 6]: multipart.delimiter       | multipart/mixed
  type[ 7]: image/gif                 | multipart/mixed
  type[ 8]: multipart.close-delimiter | multipart/mixed
  type[ 9]: text/plain                | multipart/mixed

The center row is the object type, the right one is the mime type of the whole message (content-type in the mail header).
