Overview

Overview

The RMail::Header class supports the creation and manipulation of RFC2822 mail headers.

A mail header is a little bit like a Hash. The fields are keyed by a string field name. It is also a little bit like an Array, since the fields are in a specific order. This class provides many of the methods of both the Hash and Array class. It also includes the Enumerable module.

Terminology

header

The entire header. Each RMail::Header object is one mail header.

field

An element of the header. Fields have a name and a value. For example, the field “Subject: Hi Mom!” has a name of “Subject” and a value of “Hi Mom!”

name

A name of a field. For example: “Subject” or “From”.

value

The value of a field.

Conventions

The header’s fields are stored in a particular order. Methods such as #each process the headers in this order.

When field names or values are added to the object they are frozen. This helps prevent accidental modification to what is stored in the object.

end

#[](name_or_index) ⇒ Object

Return the value of the first matching field of a field name, or nil if none found. If passed an Integer, returns the header indexed by the number.

    result = detect { |n, v|
      if n.downcase == name then true else false end
    }
    if result.nil? then nil else result[1] end
  end
end

#[]=(name, value) ⇒ Object

Append a new field with name and value. If you want control of where the field is inserted, see #add.

Returns value.

# File 'lib/rmail/header.rb', line 404

def []=(name, value)
  add(name, value)
  value
end

#add(name, value, index = nil, params = nil) ⇒ Object

Add a new field with name and value. When index is nil (the default if not specified) the line is appended to the header, otherwise it is inserted at the specified index. E.g. an index of 0 will prepend the header line.

You can pass additional parameters for the header as a hash table params. Every key of the hash will be the name of the parameter, and every key’s value the parameter value.

E.g.

header.add('Content-Type', 'multipart/mixed', nil,
           'boundary' => 'the boundary')

will add this header

Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="the boundary"

Always returns self.

  self
end

#add_message_id(fqdn = nil) ⇒ Object

Sets the value of this object’s Message-Id: field to a new random value.

If you don’t supply a fqdn (fully qualified domain name) then one will be randomly generated for you. If a valid address exists in the From: field, its domain will be used as a basis.

Part of the randomness in the header is taken from the header itself, so it is best to call this method after adding other fields to the header – especially those that make it unique (Subject:, To:, Cc:, etc).

  # Ruby's random number generator is fairly good this will
  # suffice so long as it is seeded corretly.
  #
  # P.S. There is no portable way to get the fully qualified

#address_list_assign(field_name, addresses) ⇒ Object

Set a given field to a list of supplied addresses.

The addresses may be a String, RMail::Address, or Array. If a String, it is parsed for valid email addresses and those found are used. If an RMail::Address, the result of RMail::Address#format is used. If an Array, each element of the array must be either a String or RMail::Address and is treated as above.

This method is used to implement many of the convenience methods such as #from=, #to=, etc.

#from ⇒ Object

Returns the value of the From: header as an Array of RMail::Address objects.

See #address_list_fetch for details on what is returned.

This method does not return a single RMail::Address value because it is legal to have multiple addresses in a From: header.

This method always returns at least the empty list. So if you are always only interested in the first from address (most likely the case), you can safely say:

header.from.first

683
684
 
# File 'lib/rmail/header.rb', line 682

def from

end

#from=(addresses) ⇒ Object

Sets the From: field to the supplied address or addresses.

See #address_list_assign for information on valid values for addresses.

Note that the From: header usually contains only one address, but it is legal to have more than one.

# File 'lib/rmail/header.rb', line 196

def length
  @fields.length
end

#match(name, value) ⇒ Object

Find all fields that match the given +name and value.

If name is a String, all fields of that name are tested. If name is a Regexp, the field names are matched against the regexp (the field names are converted to lower case first). Use the regexp // if you want to test all field names.

If value is a String, it is converted to a case insensitive Regexp that matches the string. Otherwise, it must be a Regexp. Note that the field value may be folded across many lines, so you may need to use a multi-line Regexp. Also consider using a case insensitive Regexp. Use the regexp // if you want to match all possible field values.

Returns a new RMail::Header holding all matching headers.

Examples:

received = header.match('Received', //)
destinations = header.match(/^(to|cc|bcc)$/, //)
bigfoot_received = header.match('received',
                                /from.*by.*bigfoot\.com.*LiteMail/im)

    }
    header
  }
end

#match?(name, value) ⇒ Boolean

Determine if there is any fields that match the given name and value.

If name is a String, all fields of that name are tested. If name is a Regexp the field names are matched against the regexp (the field names are converted to lower case first). Use the regexp // if you want to test all field names.

If value is a String, it is converted to a case insensitive Regexp that matches the string. Otherwise, it must be a Regexp. Note that the field value may be folded across many lines, so you should use a multi-line Regexp. Also consider using a case insensitive Regexp. Use the regexp // if you want to match all possible field values.

Returns true if there is a match, false otherwise.

Example:

if h.match?('x-ml-name', /ruby-dev/im)
  # do something
end

Returns:

  • (Boolean)
