      <a id="id578132" shape="rect" name="id578132"> </a>

      <h2>USAGE</h2>

      <p>This method begins the process of manually adding a
      message to a folder. The <code class="function">mail::folder::addMessage</code> method returns a
      pointer to a <span class="structname">mail::addMessage</span>
      object. The application should then define the contents of
      the message by invoking the object's <code class="function">saveMessageContents</code> method. The entire
      contents of the message does not have to be specified at
      once. A large message may be defined by repeatedly invoking
      <code class="function">saveMessageContents</code>,
      consecutively, each time specifying the next portion of the
      message's contents.</p>

      <p>After the contents of the message are defined by invoking
      <code class="function">saveMessageContents</code>, the
      application must invoke the <code class="function">go</code>
      method in order to actually place the new message into the
      folder. The application may abort the process at any time by
      invoking the <code class="function">fail</code> method, and
      specifying the error message.</p>

      <p>The application does not need to explicitly destroy the
      <span class="structname">mail::addMessage</span> object, the
      object is automatically destroyed by <code class="function">go</code> or <code class="function">fail</code>.</p>

      <p>The application may set the following <span class="structname">mail::addMessage</span> fields prior to invoking
      <code class="function">go</code>. If not initialized, the
      following fields will be set to their default values.</p>

      <div class="variablelist">
        <dl>
          <dt><span class="term">messageDate</span></dt>

          <dd>
            <p>The message's timestamp, as retrieved by
            <code class="literal">mail::account::ARRIVALDATE</code>
            parameter to <a class="link" href="mail-readmsgattr.html" title="mail::account::readMessageAttributes" shape="rect"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">mail::account::readMessageAttributes</span>(3x)</span></a>().</p>

            <div class="note" title="Note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;">
              <h3 class="title">Note</h3>

              <p>This timestamp does not necessarily have to be the
              same as the timestamp in the message's <code class="literal">Date:</code> header.</p>
            </div>
          </dd>

          <dt><span class="term">messageInfo</span></dt>

          <dd>
            <p>The message flags, as returned by <a class="link" href="mail-getfolderindexinfo.html" title="mail::account::getFolderIndexInfo" shape="rect"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">mail::account::getFolderIndexInfo</span>(3x)</span></a>().</p>

            <div class="note" title="Note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;">
              <h3 class="title">Note</h3>

              <p>The contents of <em class="structfield"><code>uid</code></em>, the message's
              unique ID, are ignored, only the message flags in
              <em class="structfield"><code>messageInfo</code></em>
              are read. The message gets automatically assigned a
              new unique ID when it gets added to the folder.</p>

      <p>This is an alternative way of adding a message to a folder
      by assembling it one MIME section at a time. First, use the
      <code class="function">assembleContent</code> method to
      specify the individual content-containing (non-<code class="literal">multipart</code> and non-<code class="literal">message/rfc822</code>) MIME sections. Before
      <code class="function">assembleContent</code> invokes
      <em class="parameter"><code>cb</code></em>'s <code class="function">success</code> method it will initialize
      <em class="parameter"><code>handleRet</code></em> with a
      <span class="quote">&#8220;<span class="quote">handle</span>&#8221;</span> that refers to this MIME
      section. Use these MIME section handles to assemble the
      individual MIME sections into <code class="literal">multipart</code> and <code class="literal">message/rfc822</code> MIME sections. The
      <code class="function">assembleMessageRfc822</code> and
      <code class="function">assembleMultipart</code> methods also
      create a new MIME section handle, which refers to the
      assembled MIME section, in the same way. Those handles
      themselves may also be re-assembled into higher-level
      <code class="literal">multipart</code> or <code class="literal">message/rfc822</code> MIME sections.</p>

      <p>Finally, after defining the topmost MIME section, use
      <code class="function">assemble</code> to assemble the entire
      message. If <code class="function">assemble</code> returns
      <code class="literal">true</code>, use the <code class="function">go</code> (or the <code class="function">fail</code>) method. If <code class="function">assemble</code> returns <code class="literal">false</code>, an <code class="literal">errno</code>-related error has occured; the
      application should call <code class="function">fail</code> to
      report it, and clean up the <span class="structname">mail::addMessage</span> object.</p>

      <p>The <code class="function">assembleContent</code> method
      receives a <a class="link" href="mail-attachments.html" title="mail::Attachment" shape="rect"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">mail::Attachment</span>(3x)</span></a>
      object.</p>

      <p>The second parameter to <code class="function">assembleMessageRfc822</code> are the MIME headers
      of the <code class="literal">message/rfc822</code>
      attachment. The MIME headers must be terminated by a single
      newline character, and include the <code class="literal">Content-Type</code> header. In nearly all
      situations, this parameter should be set to the fixed string
      <span class="quote">&#8220;<span class="quote">Content-Type:
      message/rfc822\n</span>&#8221;</span> (note the trailing
      newline). The third parameter is the handle of the
      attachment's top-level MIME section.</p>

      <p>The second parameter to <code class="function">assembleMultipart</code> is a string containing
      MIME headers for the multipart MIME section. These headers
      should <span class="emphasis"><em>not</em></span> include the
      <code class="literal">Content-Type</code> header. The
      <code class="literal">Content-Type</code> header for the
      multipart section will be generated internally. If there are
      any extra headers, they must have a single trailing newline
      character. Most situations do not need extra headers, so this
      parameter should be an empty string, <span class="quote">&#8220;&#8221;</span>.</p>

      <p>The third parameter to <code class="function">assembleMultipart</code> is the vector of
      previously-defined handles of each MIME section that's to be
      assembled into a multipart MIME section. The fourth parameter
      is the actual MIME type of this section, usually <span class="quote">&#8220;<span class="quote">multipart/mixed</span>&#8221;</span> or <span class="quote">&#8220;<span class="quote">multipart/alternative</span>&#8221;</span> (any
      <span class="quote">&#8220;<span class="quote">multipart</span>&#8221;</span> type is allowed). The
      fifth parameter is optional, and specifies the MIME content
      type parameter list (the parameter list should not include
      the <span class="quote">&#8220;<span class="quote">boundary</span>&#8221;</span> parameter, because it's
      taken care of automatically by this function).</p>

      <p>The last parameter to <code class="function">assembleContent</code>, <code class="function">assembleMessageRfc822</code>, or <code class="function">assembleMultipart</code> is the callback object.
      The callback object's <code class="function">success</code>
      method will be invoked when the MIME section has been
      assembled. The <code class="function">fail</code> method will
      be invoked if an error occured. Depending on the type of the
      folder the message is being added to, the MIME section may be
      assembled immediately (in which case <code class="function">success</code> or <code class="function">fail</code> gets called right before the function
      terminates) or the function will terminate immediately, and
      the callback function will be called at a later time.</p>
