Mail::Server::IMAP4::Fetch - message info for IMAP protocol speed-up



=head1 SYNOPSIS

 my $imap = Mail::Server::IMAP4::Fetch->new($msg);
 print $imap->fetchBody(1);   # for FETCH BODYSTRUCTURE
 print $imap->fetchBody;      # for FETCH BODY
 print $imap->fetchEnvelope;  # for FETCH ENVELOPE
 print $imap->fetchSize;


=head1 DESCRIPTION

Create a new object hierarchy, which contains information to capture
the most important details about the message.  The object can be used
to speed-up IMAP-server implementations, as L<Mail::Box::Netzwert>.

The object used here is a simplified representation of a
L<Mail::Box::Message|Mail::Box::Message> object.  It does not maintain headers and does
not refer to the folder.  It only works with messages stored in a file.
Therefore, this object can be frozen by L<Storable> if you want to.

Returns one string, representing the message's structure as defined by
the IMAP protocol.  The boolean argument indicates whether you like to

$obj-E<gt>B<part>([PARTNR])

=over 4

The partnummer is a list of dot-separated positive integers, numbering
(nested) parts in multi-part message bodies.  By default, the info of
the main message is returned.
