          is a Mail::Reporter

SYNOPSIS
       Available methods are very converter-specific.

DESCRIPTION
       This class is the base for various message (and message parts)
       converters.

       Extends "DESCRIPTION" in Mail::Reporter.

   Converters between message objects
       Internally, the Mail::Message::coerce() is called when foreign objects
       are used where message objects are expected.  That method will
       automatically create the converting objects, and re-use them.

       o   Mail::Message::Convert::MailInternet

           Converts the simple Mail::Internet messages into Mail::Message
           objects.

       o   Mail::Message::Convert::MimeEntity

           Converts the more complicated MIME::Entity messages into
           Mail::Message objects.

       o   Mail::Message::Convert::EmailSimple

           Converts Email::Simple messages into Mail::Message objects.

   Other converters
       o   Mail::Message::Convert::Html

           Plays tricks with HTML/XMHTML without help of external modules.

       o   Mail::Message::Convert::HtmlFormatText

           Converts HTML body objects to plain text objects using the
           HTML::FormatText module.

       o   Mail::Message::Convert::HtmlFormatPS

           Converts HTML body objects to Postscript objects using the
           HTML::FormatPS module.

       o   Mail::Message::Convert::TextAutoformat

           Converts a text message into text using Text::Autoformat.

METHODS
       Extends "METHODS" in Mail::Reporter.

   Constructors
       Extends "Constructors" in Mail::Reporter.

       Mail::Message::Convert->new(%options)
            -Option--Defined in     --Default
             fields                   <see description>
             log     Mail::Reporter   'WARNINGS'
             trace   Mail::Reporter   'WARNINGS'

           fields => NAMES|ARRAY-OF-NAMES|REGEXS
             Select the fields of a header which are to be handled.  Other
             fields will not be used.  The value of this option is passed to
             Mail::Message::Head::Complete::grepNames() whenever converters
             feel a need for header line selection.  By default, the "To",
             "From", "Cc", "Bcc", "Date", "Subject", and their "Resent-"
             counterparts will be selected.  Specify an empty list to get all
             fields.

           log => LEVEL
           trace => LEVEL

   Converting
       $obj->selectedFields($head)
           Returns a list of fields to be included in the format.  The list is
           an ordered selection of the fields in the actual header, and
           filtered through the information as specified with new(fields).

DIAGNOSTICS
       Error: Package $package does not implement $method.
           Fatal error: the specific package (or one of its superclasses) does
           not implement this method where it should. This message means that
           some other related classes do implement this method however the
           class at hand does not.  Probably you should investigate this and
           probably inform the author of the package.
