NAME

DADA::MailingList::Archives

DESCRIPTION

This module holds the shared methods between the different archive backends

Many of these methods have to do with massaging the message for viewing;

METHODS

get_neighbors

        my ($prev, $next) = $archive->get_neighbors();

this will tell you in the frame of reference of what message you're on, what the previous and next entry keys are.

check_if_entry_exists;

see if an entry exists, returns 1 when its there, 0 if it aint

set_archive_subject();

$archive->set_archive_subject($subject);

changes the archive's subject

set_archive_message();

        $archive->set_archive_message($message);

changes the archive's message (yo)

set_archive_format

        $archive -> set_archive_format($format);

changes the archive's format (yo)

get_archive_subject

        my $format = get_archive_subject($key);

gets the subject of the given $key

get_archive_format

        my $format = get_archive_format($key);

gets the format of the given $key

get_archive_message

        my $format = get_archive_message($key);

gets the message of the given $key

create_index

        my ($begin, $stop) = $archive->create_index($start);

This 'll tell you what to print on each archive index. something like, 'start on the 40th message and end on the 50th'

newest_entry

returns the the key/id of the most recent archive message

oldest_entry

returns the key/of the first archive message

create_index_nav

        print $archive->create_index_nav($stopped_at);

creates a HTML table that looks like this:

            <<Prev                      Next >>

at the bottom of each archive index

make_nav_table,

        print $archive -> make_nav_table(-Id => $id, -List => $list_info{list});

this will make a HTML table that has the previous message, the index and the next message like this:

<< My Previous Message |Archive Index| My Next Message

_zap_sig_plaintext

(Private Method)

 my $msg = $self->_zap_sig_plaintext($msg);

Given a string, $msg, returns the message without the opening or signature.

In a PlainText message, the opening is terminated using the (Dada Mail specific):

__

Which is:

 [newline][underscore][underscore][space][newline]

The signature is begun with:

--

Which is:

 [newline][dash][dash][space][newline]

_zap_sig_html

(Private Method)

 $msg = $self->_zap_sig_html($msg);

Given a string $msg, returns a string that does not have the information located between the opening and signature comments.

The opening comments look like this:

 <!--opening-->
 <!--/opening-->

The signature comments look like this:

 <!--signature-->
 <!--/signature-->

These are both very Dada Mail-specific.

massage

make_search_summary

 my $summaries = $archive->make_search_summary($query, $search_results);

Given a $query (string) and $search_results (array ref of archive keys/ids) will return a hashref of each line the keyword appears in.

_faked_oldstyle_message

Private Method

 ($new_message, $new_format) = $self->_faked_oldstyle_message($raw_msg);

background:

Before version 2.9, Dada Mail did not save the complete email message, including the headers, in its archive. Beginning with 2.9, if you're using one of the SQL backends, it will - but for backwards compatability, the old style, message-only sort of method is still used.

message_blurb

 print $archives->message_blurb(-key  => $key,
                                -size => 256, 
                               ),

Given a key/id of an archived message, returns a plaintext snippet of the archived message. -size will change who large the archive blurb is. NOTE: that this is the maximum size. If the message is smaller, the blurb will reflect that.

massage_msg_for_resending

 print $archive->massage_msg_for_resending(-key => $entry),

given a -key - a key/id of an archived message, will return a copy of that archived message formatted to be resent. Basically, this means that the email message template has been stripped from the saved message.

_take_off_sigs

 $entity = $self->_take_off_sigs($entity);

($entity is a MIME::Entity object)

Returns a copy of the entity without the email message template apply (attempts to, anyways)

massaged_msg_for_display

 $message = $self->massaged_msg_for_display(-key => $key);

returns a string, given a -key - an id/key of an archived message.

Can have many parameters passed to it:

_chomp_off_body

Private Method

 $body = $self->_chomp_off_body($body);

Give a string, will return the contents of the string that were found between HTML <body> tags. If no content was found, will return the entire string back, unchanged.

_add_a_body_if_needed

Private Method

 $body = $self->_add_a_body_if_needed($body)

Given a string, looks if the string is a complete HTML document, and, if it's not, wraps one around it.

Used for showing archived messages.

_get_body_entity

Private Methid

 $entity = $self->_get_body_entity($entity);

Given an entity, attempts to find the main message - will default to HTML for multipart/alternative messages.

_bs_raw_msg

 $raw_msg = $self->_bs_raw_msg($subject, $message, $format);

Tries to munge a complete MIME-compliant message, given a Subject, the body of a message and a format (text/plain, text/html)

W3CDTF

 print $self->W3CDTF($key);

Given a key/id of an archived message, which is created from the date the message was sent, returns a string in the W3CDTF format.
