MIME entities =head1 SYNOPSIS Here's some pretty basic code for B<parsing a MIME message,> and outputting its decoded components to a given directory: use MIME::Parser; ### Create parser, and set some parsing options: my $parser = new MIME::Parser; $parser->output_under("$ENV{HOME}/mimemail"); ### Parse input: $entity = $parser->parse(\*STDIN) or die "parse failed\n"; ### Take a look at the top-level entity (and any parts it has): $entity->dump_skeleton; Here's some code which B<composes and sends a MIME message> containing three parts: a text file, an attached GIF, and some more text: use MIME::Entity; ### Create the top-level, and set up the mail headers: $top = MIME::Entity->build(Type =>"multipart/mixed", From => "me\@myhost.com", To => "you\@yourhost.com", Subject => "Hello, nurse!"); ### Part #1: a simple text document: $top->attach(Path=>"./testin/short.txt"); ### Part #2: a GIF file: $top->attach(Path => "./docs/mime-sm.gif", Type => "image/gif", Encoding => "base64"); ### Part #3: some literal text: $top->attach(Data=>$message); ### Send it: open MAIL, "| /usr/lib/sendmail -t -oi -oem" or die "open: $!"; $top->print(\*MAIL); close MAIL; For more examples, look at the scripts in the B<examples> directory of the MIME-tools distribution. =head1 DESCRIPTION MIME-tools is a collection of Perl5 MIME:: modules for parsing, decoding, I<and generating> single- or multipart (even nested multipart) MIME messages. (Yes, kids, that means you can send messages with attached GIF files). =head1 REQUIREMENTS You will need the following installed on your system: File::Path File::Spec IPC::Open2 (optional) MIME::Base64 MIME::QuotedPrint Net::SMTP Mail::Internet, ... from the MailTools distribution. See the Makefile.PL in your distribution for the most-comprehensive list of prerequisite modules and their version numbers. =head1 A QUICK TOUR =head2 Overview of the classes Here are the classes you'll generally be dealing with directly: (START HERE) results() .-----------------. \ .-------->| MIME:: | .-----------. / | Parser::Results | | MIME:: |--' `-----------------' | Parser |--. .-----------------. `-----------' \ filer() | MIME:: | | parse() `-------->| Parser::Filer | | gives you `-----------------' | a... | output_path() | | determines | | path() of... | head() .--------. | | returns... | MIME:: | get() | V .-------->| Head | etc... | .--------./ `--------' | .---> | MIME:: | | `-----| Entity | .--------. | parts() `--------'\ | MIME:: | / returns `-------->| Body |<---------' sub-entities bodyhandle() `--------' (if any) returns... | open() | returns... | V .--------. read() | IO:: | getline() | Handle | print() `--------' etc... To illustrate, parsing works this way: =over 4 =item * B<The "parser" parses the MIME stream.> A parser is an instance of C<MIME::Parser>. You hand it an input stream (like a filehandle) to parse a message from: if the parse is successful, the result is an "entity". =item * B<A parsed message is represented by an "entity".> An entity is an instance of C<MIME::Entity> (a subclass of C<Mail::Internet>). If the message had "parts" (e.g., attachments), then those parts are "entities" as well, contained inside the top-level entity. Each entity has a "head" and a "body". =item * B<The entity's "head" contains information about the message.> A "head" is an instance of C<MIME::Head> (a subclass of C<Mail::Header>). It contains information from the message header: content type, sender, subject line, etc. =item * B<The entity's "body" knows where the message data is.> You can ask to "open" this data source for I<reading> or I<writing>, and you will get back an "I/O handle". =item * B<You can open() a "body" and get an "I/O handle" to read/write message data.> This handle is an object that is basically like an IO::Handle... it can be any class, so long as it supports a small, standard set of methods for reading from or writing to the underlying data source. =back A typical multipart message containing two parts -- a textual greeting and an "attached" GIF file -- would be a tree of MIME::Entity objects, each of which would have its own MIME::Head. Like this: .--------. | MIME:: | Content-type: multipart/mixed | Entity | Subject: Happy Samhaine! `--------' | `----. parts | | .--------. |---| MIME:: | Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii | | Entity | Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit | `--------' | .--------. |---| MIME:: | Content-type: image/gif | Entity | Content-transfer-encoding: base64 `--------' Content-disposition: inline; filename="hs.gif" =head2 Parsing messages You usually start by creating an instance of B<MIME::Parser> and setting up certain parsing parameters: what directory to save extracted files to, how to name the files, etc. You then give that instance a readable filehandle on which waits a MIME message. If all goes well, you will get back a B<MIME::Entity> object (a subclass of B<Mail::Internet>), which consists of... =over 4 =item * A B<MIME::Head> (a subclass of B<Mail::Header>) which holds the MIME header data. =item * A B<MIME::Body>, which is a object that knows where the body data is. You ask this object to "open" itself for reading, and it will hand you back an "I/O handle" for reading the data: this could be of any class, so long as it conforms to a subset of the B<IO::Handle> interface. =back If the original message was a multipart document, the MIME::Entity object will have a non-empty list of "parts", each of which is in turn a MIME::Entity (which might also be a multipart entity, etc, etc...). Internally, the parser (in MIME::Parser) asks for instances of B<MIME::Decoder> whenever it needs to decode an encoded file. MIME::Decoder has a mapping from supported encodings (e.g., 'base64') to classes whose instances can decode them. You can add to this mapping to try out new/experiment encodings. You can also use MIME::Decoder by itself. =head2 Composing messages All message composition is done via the B<MIME::Entity> class. For single-part messages, you can use the B<MIME::Entity/build> constructor to create MIME entities very easily. For multipart messages, you can start by creating a top-level C<multipart> entity with B<MIME::Entity::build()>, and then use the similar B<MIME::Entity::attach()> method to attach parts to that message. I<Please note:> what most people think of as "a text message with an attached GIF file" is I<really> a multipart message with 2 parts: the first being the text message, and the second being the GIF file. When building MIME a entity, you'll have to provide two very important pieces of information: the I<content type> and the I<content transfer encoding>. The type is usually easy, as it is directly determined by the file format; e.g., an HTML file is C<text/html>. The encoding, however, is trickier... for example, some HTML files are C<7bit>-compliant, but others might have very long lines and would need to be sent C<quoted-printable> for reliability. See the section on encoding/decoding for more details, as well as L<"A MIME PRIMER"> below. =head2 Sending email Since MIME::Entity inherits directly from Mail::Internet, you can use the normal Mail::Internet mechanisms to send email. For example, $entity->smtpsend; =head2 Encoding/decoding support The B<MIME::Decoder> class can be used to I<encode> as well; this is done when printing MIME entities. All the standard encodings are supported (see L<"A MIME PRIMER"> below for details): Encoding: | Normally used when message contents are: ------------------------------------------------------------------- 7bit | 7-bit data with under 1000 chars/line, or multipart. 8bit | 8-bit data with under 1000 chars/line. binary | 8-bit data with some long lines (or no line breaks). quoted-printable | Text files with some 8-bit chars (e.g., Latin-1 text). base64 | Binary files. Which encoding you choose for a given document depends largely on (1) what you know about the document's contents (text vs binary), and (2) whether you need the resulting message to have a reliable encoding for 7-bit Internet email transport. In general, only C<quoted-printable> and C<base64> guarantee reliable transport of all data; the other three "no-encoding" encodings simply pass the data through, and are only reliable if that data is 7bit ASCII with under 1000 characters per line, and has no conflicts with the multipart boundaries. I've considered making it so that the content-type and encoding can be automatically inferred from the file's path, but that seems to be asking for trouble... or at least, for Mail::Cap... =head2 Message-logging MIME-tools is a large and complex toolkit which tries to deal with a wide variety of external input. It's sometimes helpful to see what's really going on behind the scenes. There are several kinds of messages logged by the toolkit itself: =over 4 =item Debug messages These are printed directly to the STDERR, with a prefix of C<"MIME-tools: debug">. Debug message are only logged if you have turned L</debugging> on in the MIME::Tools configuration. =item Warning messages These are logged by the standard Perl warn() mechanism to indicate an unusual situation. They all have a prefix of C<"MIME-tools: warning">. Warning messages are only logged if C<$^W> is set true and MIME::Tools is not configured to be L</quiet>. =item Error messages These are logged by the standard Perl warn() mechanism to indicate that something actually failed. They all have a prefix of C<"MIME-tools: error">. Error messages are only logged if C<$^W> is set true and MIME::Tools is not configured to be L</quiet>. =item Usage messages Unlike "typical" warnings above, which warn about problems processing data, usage-warnings are for alerting developers of deprecated methods and suspicious invocations. Usage messages are currently only logged if C<$^W> is set true and MIME::Tools is not configured to be L</quiet>. =back When a MIME::Parser (or one of its internal helper classes) wants to report a message, it generally does so by recording the message to the B<MIME::Parser::Results> object immediately before invoking the appropriate function above. That means each parsing run has its own trace-log which can be examined for problems. =head2 Configuring the toolkit If you want to tweak the way this toolkit works (for example, to turn on debugging), use the routines in the B<MIME::Tools> module. =over =item debugging Turn debugging on or off. Default is false (off). MIME::Tools->debugging(1); =item quiet Turn the reporting of warning/error messages on or off. Default is true, meaning that these message are silenced. MIME::Tools->quiet(1); =item version Return the toolkit version. print MIME::Tools->version, "\n"; =back =head1 THINGS YOU SHOULD DO =head2 Take a look at the examples The MIME-Tools distribution comes with an "examples" directory. The scripts in there are basically just tossed-together, but they'll give you some ideas of how to use the parser. =head2 Run with warnings enabled I<Always> run your Perl script with C<-w>. If you see a warning about a deprecated method, change your code ASAP. This will ease upgrades tremendously. =head2 Avoid non-standard encodings Don't try to MIME-encode using the non-standard MIME encodings. It's just not a good practice if you want people to be able to read your messages. =head2 Plan for thrown exceptions For example, if your mail-handling code absolutely must not die, then perform mail parsing like this: $entity = eval { $parser->parse(\*INPUT) }; Parsing is a complex process, and some components may throw exceptions if seriously-bad things happen. Since "seriously-bad" is in the eye of the beholder, you're better off I<catching> possible exceptions instead of asking me to propagate C<undef> up the stack. Use of exceptions in reusable modules is one of those religious issues we're never all going to agree upon; thankfully, that's what C<eval{}> is good for. =head2 Check the parser results for warnings/errors As of 5.3xx, the parser tries extremely hard to give you a MIME::Entity. If there were any problems, it logs warnings/errors to the underlying "results" object (see L<MIME::Parser::Results>). Look at that object after each parse. Print out the warnings and errors, I<especially> if messages don't parse the way you thought they would. =head2 Don't plan on printing exactly what you parsed! I<Parsing is a (slightly) lossy operation.> Because of things like ambiguities in base64-encoding, the following is I<not> going to spit out its input unchanged in all cases: $entity = $parser->parse(\*STDIN); $entity->print(\*STDOUT); If you're using MIME::Tools to process email, remember to save the data you parse if you want to send it on unchanged. This is vital for things like PGP-signed email. =head2 Understand how international characters are represented The MIME standard allows for text strings in headers to contain characters from any character set, by using special sequences which look like this: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Keld_J=F8rn_Simonsen?= To be consistent with the existing Mail::Field classes, MIME::Tools does I<not> automatically unencode these strings, since doing so would lose the character-set information and interfere with the parsing of fields (see L<MIME::Parser/decode_headers> for a full explanation). That means you should be prepared to deal with these encoded strings. The most common question then is, B<how do I decode these encoded strings?> The answer depends on what you want to decode them I<to>: ASCII, Latin1, UTF-8, etc. Be aware that your "target" representation may not support all possible character sets you might encounter; for example, Latin1 (ISO-8859-1) has no way of representing Big5 (Chinese) characters. A common practice is to represent "untranslateable" characters as "?"s, or to ignore them completely. To unencode the strings into some of the more-popular Western byte representations (e.g., Latin1, Latin2, etc.), you can use the decoders in MIME::WordDecoder (see L<MIME::WordDecoder>). The simplest way is by using C<unmime()>, a function wrapped around your "default" decoder, as follows: use MIME::WordDecoder; ... $subject = unmime $entity->head->get('subject'); One place this I<is> done automatically is in extracting the recommended filename for a part while parsing. That's why you should start by setting up the best "default" decoder if the default target of Latin1 isn't to your liking. =head1 THINGS I DO THAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT =head2 Fuzzing of CRLF and newline on input RFC 2045 dictates that MIME streams have lines terminated by CRLF (C<"\r\n">). However, it is extremely likely that folks will want to parse MIME streams where each line ends in the local newline character C<"\n"> instead. An attempt has been made to allow the parser to handle both CRLF and newline-terminated input. =head2 Fuzzing of CRLF and newline when decoding The C<"7bit"> and C<"8bit"> decoders will decode both a C<"\n"> and a C<"\r\n"> end-of-line sequence into a C<"\n">. The C<"binary"> decoder (default if no encoding specified) still outputs stuff verbatim... so a MIME message with CRLFs and no explicit encoding will be output as a text file that, on many systems, will have an annoying ^M at the end of each line... I<but this is as it should be>. =head2 Fuzzing of CRLF and newline when encoding/composing TODO FIXME All encoders currently output the end-of-line sequence as a C<"\n">, with the assumption that the local mail agent will perform the conversion from newline to CRLF when sending the mail. However, there probably should be an option to output CRLF as per RFC 2045 =head2 Inability to handle multipart boundaries with embedded newlines Let's get something straight: this is an evil, EVIL practice. If your mailer creates multipart boundary strings that contain newlines, give it two weeks notice and find another one. If your mail robot receives MIME mail like this, regard it as syntactically incorrect, which it is. =head2 Ignoring non-header headers People like to hand the parser raw messages straight from POP3 or from a mailbox. There is often predictable non-header information in front of the real headers; e.g., the initial "From" line in the following message: From - Wed Mar 22 02:13:18 2000 Return-Path: <eryq@zeegee.com> Subject: Hello The parser simply ignores such stuff quietly. Perhaps it shouldn't, but most people seem to want that behavior. =head2 Fuzzing of empty multipart preambles Please note that there is currently an ambiguity in the way preambles are parsed in. The following message fragments I<both> are regarded as having an empty preamble (where C<\n> indicates a newline character): Content-type: multipart/mixed; boundary="xyz"\n Subject: This message (#1) has an empty preamble\n \n --xyz\n ... Content-type: multipart/mixed; boundary="xyz"\n Subject: This message (#2) also has an empty preamble\n \n \n --xyz\n ... In both cases, the I<first> completely-empty line (after the "Subject") marks the end of the header. But we should clearly ignore the I<second> empty line in message #2, since it fills the role of I<"the newline which is only there to make sure that the boundary is at the beginning of a line">. Such newlines are I<never> part of the content preceding the boundary; thus, there is no preamble "content" in message #2. However, it seems clear that message #1 I<also> has no preamble "content", and is in fact merely a compact representation of an empty preamble. =head2 Use of a temp file during parsing I<Why not do everything in core?> Although the amount of core available on even a modest home system continues to grow, the size of attachments continues to grow with it. I wanted to make sure that even users with small systems could deal with decoding multi-megabyte sounds and movie files. That means not being core-bound. As of the released 5.3xx, MIME::Parser gets by with only one temp file open per parser. This temp file provides a sort of infinite scratch space for dealing with the current message part. It's fast and lightweight, but you should know about it anyway. =head2 Why do I assume that MIME objects are email objects? Achim Bohnet once pointed out that MIME headers do nothing more than store a collection of attributes, and thus could be represented as objects which don't inherit from Mail::Header. I agree in principle, but RFC 2045 says otherwise. RFC 2045 [MIME] headers are a syntactic subset of RFC-822 [email] headers. Perhaps a better name for these modules would have been RFC1521:: instead of MIME::, but we're a little beyond that stage now. When I originally wrote these modules for the CPAN, I agonized for a long time about whether or not they really should subclass from B<Mail::Internet> (then at version 1.17). Thanks to Graham Barr, who graciously evolved MailTools 1.06 to be more MIME-friendly, unification was achieved at MIME-tools release 2.0. The benefits in reuse alone have been substantial. =head1 A MIME PRIMER So you need to parse (or create) MIME, but you're not quite up on the specifics? No problem... =head2 Glossary Here are some definitions adapted from RFC 1521 (predecessor of the current RFC 204[56789] defining MIME) explaining the terminology we use; each is accompanied by the equivalent in MIME:: module terms... =over 4 =item attachment An "attachment" is common slang for any part of a multipart message -- except, perhaps, for the first part, which normally carries a user message describing the attachments that follow (e.g.: "Hey dude, here's that GIF file I promised you."). In our system, an attachment is just a B<MIME::Entity> under the top-level entity, probably one of its L<parts|MIME::Entity/parts>. =item body The "body" of an L<entity|/entity> is that portion of the entity which follows the L<header|/header> and which contains the real message content. For example, if your MIME message has a GIF file attachment, then the body of that attachment is the base64-encoded GIF file itself. A body is represented by an instance of B<MIME::Body>. You get the body of an entity by sending it a L<bodyhandle()|MIME::Entity/bodyhandle> message. =item body part One of the parts of the body of a multipart B</entity>. A body part has a B</header> and a B</body>, so it makes sense to speak about the body of a body part. Since a body part is just a kind of entity, it's represented by an instance of B<MIME::Entity>. =item entity An "entity" means either a B</message> or a B</body part>. All entities have a B</header> and a B</body>. An entity is represented by an instance of B<MIME::Entity>. There are instance methods for recovering the L<header|MIME::Entity/head> (a B<MIME::Head>) and the L<body|MIME::Entity/bodyhandle> (a B<MIME::Body>). =item header This is the top portion of the MIME message, which contains the "Content-type", "Content-transfer-encoding", etc. Every MIME entity has a header, represented by an instance of B<MIME::Head>. You get the header of an entity by sending it a head() message. =item message A "message" generally means the complete (or "top-level") message being transferred on a network. There currently is no explicit package for "messages"; under MIME::, messages are streams of data which may be read in from files or filehandles. You can think of the B<MIME::Entity> returned by the B<MIME::Parser> as representing the full message. =back =head2 Content types This indicates what kind of data is in the MIME message, usually as I<majortype/minortype>. The standard major types are shown below. A more-comprehensive listing may be found in RFC-2046. =over 4 =item application Data which does not fit in any of the other categories, particularly data to be processed by some type of application program. C<application/octet-stream>, C<application/gzip>, C<application/postscript>... =item audio Audio data. C<audio/basic>... =item image Graphics data. C<image/gif>, C<image/jpeg>... =item message A message, usually another mail or MIME message. C<message/rfc822>... =item multipart A message containing other messages. C<multipart/mixed>, C<multipart/alternative>... =item text Textual data, meant for humans to read. C<text/plain>, C<text/html>... =item video Video or video+audio data. C<video/mpeg>... =back =head2 Content transfer encodings This is how the message body is packaged up for safe transit. There are the 5 major MIME encodings. A more-comprehensive listing may be found in RFC-2045. =over 4 =item 7bit No encoding is done at all. This label simply asserts that no 8-bit characters are present, and that lines do not exceed 1000 characters in length (including the CRLF). =item 8bit No encoding is done at all. This label simply asserts that the message might contain 8-bit characters, and that lines do not exceed 1000 characters in length (including the CRLF). =item binary No encoding is done at all. This label simply asserts that the message might contain 8-bit characters, and that lines may exceed 1000 characters in length. Such messages are the I<least> likely to get through mail gateways. =item base64 A standard encoding, which maps arbitrary binary data to the 7bit domain. Like "uuencode", but very well-defined. This is how you should send essentially binary information (tar files, GIFs, JPEGs, etc.). =item quoted-printable A standard encoding, which maps arbitrary line-oriented data to the 7bit domain. Useful for encoding messages which are textual in nature, yet which contain non-ASCII characters (e.g., Latin-1, Latin-2, or any other 8-bit alphabet). =back =head1 SEE ALSO L<MIME::Parser>, L<MIME::Head>, L<MIME::Body>, L<MIME::Entity>, L<MIME::Decoder>, L<Mail::Header>, L<Mail::Internet> The MIME format is documented in RFCs 1521-1522, and more recently in RFCs 2045-2049. The MIME header format is an outgrowth of the mail header format documented in RFC 822. =head1 SUPPORT Please file support requests via rt.cpan.org. =head1 CHANGE LOG Released as MIME-parser (1.0): 28 April 1996.
