=head1 NAME

Mail::Box::Message::Destructed - a destructed message


=head1 INHERITANCE

 Mail::Box::Message::Destructed
   is a Mail::Box::Message
   is a Mail::Message
   is a Mail::Reporter


=head1 SYNOPSIS

 $folder->message(3)->destruct;


=head1 DESCRIPTION

When a message folder is read, each message will be parsed into Perl
structures.  Especially the header structure can consume a huge amount
of memory (message bodies can be moved to external temporary files).
Destructed messages have forcefully cleaned-up all header and body
information, and are therefore much smaller.  Some useful information
is still in the object.

BE WARNED: once a message is destructed, it cannot be revived.  Destructing
enforces irreversable deletion from the folder.  If you have a folder opened
for read-only, the message will stay in that folder, but otherwise it may
be deleted.

You cannot instantiate a destructed message object.  Destruction is
done by calling L<Mail::Box::Message::destruct()|Mail::Box::Message/"Cleanup">.

=head1 DIAGNOSTICS

I<Error:> Cannot coerce a (class) into destruction

Only real L<Mail::Box::Message|Mail::Box::Message> objects can get destructed into
L<Mail::Box::Message::Destructed|Mail::Box::Message::Destructed> objects.  L<Mail::Message|Mail::Message> free
their memory immediately when the last reference is lost.

I<Error:> Cannot include forward source as $include.

Unknown alternative for the L<forward(include)|Mail::Message::Construct::Forward/"Constructing a message">.  Valid choices are
C<NO>, C<INLINE>, C<ATTACH>, and C<ENCAPSULATE>.

I<Error:> Cannot include reply source as $include.

Unknown alternative for the C<include> option of L<reply()|Mail::Message::Construct::Reply/"Constructing a message">.  Valid
choices are C<NO>, C<INLINE>, and C<ATTACH>.

I<Error:> Destructed message has no labels except 'deleted'


I<Error:> Destructed messages can not be undeleted

Once a message is destructed, it can not be revived.  Destruction is an
optimization in memory usage: if you need an undelete functionality, then
you can not use L<Mail::Box::Message::destruct()|Mail::Box::Message/"Cleanup">.

I<Error:> No address to create forwarded to.

If a forward message is created, a destination address must be specified.

I<Error:> No default mailer found to send message.

The message L<send()|Mail::Message/"The message"> mechanism had not enough information to automatically
find a mail transfer agent to sent this message.  Specify a mailer
explicitly using the C<via> options.

I<Error:> Only build() Mail::Message's; they are not in a folder yet

You may wish to construct a message to be stored in a some kind
of folder, but you need to do that in two steps.  First, create a
normal L<Mail::Message|Mail::Message>, and then add it to the folder.  During this
L<Mail::Box::addMessage()|Mail::Box/"The folder"> process, the message will get L<coerce()|Mail::Box::Message::Destructed/"METHODS">-d
into the right message type, adding storage information and the like.

I<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.

I<Error:> You cannot instantiate a destructed message

You cannot instantiate a destructed message object directly.  Destruction
is done by calling L<Mail::Box::Message::destruct()|Mail::Box::Message/"Cleanup"> on any existing
folder message.

I<Error:> You cannot take the head/body of a destructed message

The message originated from a folder, but its memory has been freed-up
forcefully by means of L<Mail::Box::Message::destruct()|Mail::Box::Message/"Cleanup">.  Apparently,
your program still tries to get to the header or body data after this
destruction, which is not possible.

I<Error:> forwardAttach requires a preamble object


I<Error:> forwardEncapsulate requires a preamble object


I<Error:> no rebuild rule $name defined.
