NAME

MIME::EncWords - deal with RFC-1522 encoded words (improved)
 

SYNOPSIS

Before reading further, you should see MIME::Tools to make sure that you understand where this module fits into the grand scheme of things. Go on, do it now. I'll wait.

Ready? Ok...

    use MIME::EncWords qw(:all);

    ### Decode the string into another string, forgetting the charsets:
    $decoded = decode_mimewords(
          'To: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Keld_J=F8rn_Simonsen?= <keld@dkuug.dk>',
          );

    ### Split string into array of decoded [DATA,CHARSET] pairs:
    @decoded = decode_mimewords(
          'To: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Keld_J=F8rn_Simonsen?= <keld@dkuug.dk>',
          );

    ### Encode a single unsafe word:
    $encoded = encode_mimeword("\xABFran\xE7ois\xBB");

    ### Encode a string, trying to find the unsafe words inside it:
    $encoded = encode_mimewords("Me and \xABFran\xE7ois\xBB in town");

DESCRIPTION

For example, here's a valid MIME header you might get:

      From: =?US-ASCII?Q?Keith_Moore?= <moore@cs.utk.edu>
      To: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Keld_J=F8rn_Simonsen?= <keld@dkuug.dk>
      CC: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Andr=E9_?= Pirard <PIRARD@vm1.ulg.ac.be>
      Subject: =?ISO-8859-1?B?SWYgeW91IGNhbiByZWFkIHRoaXMgeW8=?=
       =?ISO-8859-2?B?dSB1bmRlcnN0YW5kIHRoZSBleGFtcGxlLg==?=
       =?US-ASCII?Q?.._cool!?=

The fields basically decode to (sorry, I can only approximate the Latin characters with 7 bit sequences /o and 'e):

      From: Keith Moore <moore@cs.utk.edu>
      To: Keld J/orn Simonsen <keld@dkuug.dk>
      CC: Andr'e  Pirard <PIRARD@vm1.ulg.ac.be>
      Subject: If you can read this you understand the example... cool!

Supplement: Fellow Americans, Europeans, you probably won't know what the hell this module is for. East Asians, et al, you probably do. ":-)".

For example, here's a valid MIME header you might get:

      Subject: =?EUC-KR?B?sNTAuLinKGxhemluZXNzKSwgwvzB9ri7seIoaW1w?=
       =?EUC-KR?B?YXRpZW5jZSksILGzuLgoaHVicmlzKQ==?=

The fields basically decode to (sorry, I cannot approximate the non-Latin multibyte characters with any 7 bit sequences):

      Subject: ???(laziness), ????(impatience), ??(hubris)

PUBLIC INTERFACE

decode_mimewords ENCODED, [OPTS...]

Function. Go through the string looking for RFC-1522-style ``Q'' (quoted-printable, sort of) or ``B'' (base64) encoding, and decode them.

In an array context, splits the ENCODED string into a list of decoded "[DATA, CHARSET]" pairs, and returns that list. Unencoded data are returned in a 1-element array "[DATA]", giving an effective CHARSET of "undef".

    $enc = '=?ISO-8859-1?Q?Keld_J=F8rn_Simonsen?= <keld@dkuug.dk>';
    foreach (decode_mimewords($enc)) {
        print "", ($_[1] || 'US-ASCII'), ": ", $_[0], "\n";
    }

In a scalar context, joins the ``data'' elements of the above list together, and returns that. Warning: this is information-lossy, and probably not what you want, but if you know that all charsets in the ENCODED string are identical, it might be useful to you. (Before you use this, please see ``unmime'' in MIME::WordDecoder, which is probably what you want.) Note: See also ``Charset'' option below.

In the event of a syntax error, $@ will be set to a description of the error, but parsing will continue as best as possible (so as to get something back when decoding headers). $@ will be false if no error was detected.

Any arguments past the ENCODED string are taken to define a hash of options:

Charset

Improvement by this module: Name of character set by which data elements in scalar context will be converted. If this option is specified as special value "_UNICODE_", returned value will be Unicode string.

When Unicode/multibyte support is disabled (see ``USE_ENCODE'' in MIME::Charset), this option will not have any effects.

Note: This feature is still information-lossy, except when "_UNICODE_" is specified.

Field

Name of the mail field this string came from. Currently ignored.

Improvement by this module: Adjacent encoded-words with same charset will be concatenated to handle multibyte sequences safely.

Change by this module: Malformed base64 encoded-words will be kept encoded. In this case $@ will be set.

Compatibility with MIME::Words: Whitespaces surrounding unencoded data will not be stripped.

encode_mimeword RAW, [ENCODING], [CHARSET]

Function. Encode a single RAW ``word'' that has unsafe characters. The ``word'' will be encoded in its entirety.

    ### Encode "<<Franc,ois>>":
    $encoded = encode_mimeword("\xABFran\xE7ois\xBB");

You may specify the ENCODING ("Q" or "B"), which defaults to "Q". Improvement by this module: You may also specify it as ``special'' value: "S" to choose shorter one of either "Q" or "B".

You may specify the CHARSET, which defaults to "iso-8859-1".

Change by this module: Spaces will be escaped with ``_'' by "Q" encoding.

encode_mimewords RAW, [OPTS]

Function. Given a RAW string, try to find and encode all ``unsafe'' sequences of characters:

    ### Encode a string with some unsafe "words":
    $encoded = encode_mimewords("Me and \xABFran\xE7ois\xBB");

Returns the encoded string.

Improvement by this module: RAW may be a Unicode string when Unicode/multibyte support is enabled (see ``USE_ENCODE'' in MIME::Charset). Furthermore, RAW may be a reference to that returned by ``decode_mimewords'' on array context. In latter case ``Charset'' option (see below) will be overridden (see also notes below).

Any arguments past the RAW string are taken to define a hash of options:

Charset

Encode all unsafe stuff with this charset. Default is 'ISO-8859-1', a.k.a. ``Latin-1''.

Detect7bit

Improvement by this modlue: When ``Encoding'' option (see below) is specified as "a" and ``Charset'' option is unknown, try to detect 7-bit charset on given RAW string. Default is "YES". When Unicode/multibyte support is disabled, this option will not have any effects (see ``USE_ENCODE'' in MIME::Charset).

Encoding

The encoding to use, "q" or "b". The default is "q". Improvement by this module: You may also specify ``special'' values: "a" will automatically choose recommended encoding to use (with charset conversion if alternative charset is recommended: see MIME::Charset); "s" will choose shorter one of either "q" or "b".

Field

Name of the mail field this string will be used in. Improvement by this module: Length of mail field name will be considered in the first line of encoded header.

Minimal

Improvement by this module: Takes care of natural word separators (i.e. whitespaces) in the text to be encoded. If "NO" is specified, this module will encode whole text (if encoding needed) not regarding whitespaces; encoded-words exceeding line length will be splitted based only on their lengths. Default is "YES".

Note: As of release 0.040, default has been changed to "YES" to ensure compatibility with MIME::Words. On earlier releases, this option was fixed to be "NO".

Notes on improvement by this module: When RAW is an arrayref, adjacent encoded-words are concatenated. Then they are splitted taking care of character boundaries of multibyte sequences, when Unicode/multibyte support is enabled. Portions for unencoded data should include surrounding whitespace(s), or they will be merged into adjoining encoded word(s).
