=head1 NAME
Mail::Message::Convert::MimeEntity - translate Mail::Message to MIME::Entity vv
=head1 INHERITANCE
Mail::Message::Convert::MimeEntity
is a Mail::Message::Convert
is a Mail::Reporter
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Mail::Message::Convert::MimeEntity;
my $convert = Mail::Message::Convert::MimeEntity->new;
my Mail::Message $msg = Mail::Message->new;
my MIME::Entity $entity = $convert->export($msg);
my MIME::Entity $entity = MIME::Entity->new;
my Mail::Message $msg = $convert->from($entity);
use Mail::Box::Manager;
my $mgr = Mail::Box::Manager->new;
my $folder = $mgr->open(folder => 'Outbox');
$folder->addMessage($entity);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The MIME::Entity extends L<Mail::Internet|Mail::Internet> message with multiparts
and more methods. The L<Mail::Message|Mail::Message> objects are more flexible
in how the message parts are stored, and uses separate header and body
objects.

=item $obj-E<gt>B<export>( $message, [$parser] )
Returns a new MIME::Entity message object based on the
information from the C<$message>, which is a L<Mail::Message|Mail::Message> object.
You may want to supply your own C<$parser>, which is a MIME::Parser
object, to change the parser flags. Without a C<$parser> object, one
is created for you, with all the default settings.
If C<undef> is passed, in place of a C<$message>, then an empty list is
returned. When the parsing failes, then MIME::Parser throws an
exception.
» example:
my $convert = Mail::Message::Convert::MimeEntity->new;
my Mail::Message $msg = Mail::Message->new;
my MIME::Entity $copy = $convert->export($msg);
=item $obj-E<gt>B<from>($mime_object)
Returns a new L<Mail::Message|Mail::Message> object based on the information from
the specified MIME::Entity. If the conversion fails, the C<undef>
is returned. If C<undef> is passed in place of an OBJECT, then an
empty list is returned.
» example:
my $convert = Mail::Message::Convert::MimeEntity->new;
my MIME::Entity $msg = MIME::Entity->new;
my Mail::Message $copy = $convert->from($msg);

=item Error: Converting from MIME::Entity but got a $type, return
Cast by C<from()>
=item Error: Package $package does not implement $method.
Fatal error: the specific package (or one of its superclasses) does not
implement this method where it should. This message means that some other
related classes do implement this method however the class at hand does
not. Probably you should investigate this and probably inform the author
of the package.
Cast by C<notImplemented()>
