=head1 NAME

Mail::Filter - Filter mail through multiple subroutines

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Mail::Filter;
    
    $filter = new Mail::Filter( \&filter1, \&filter2 );
    
    $mail = new Mail::Internet( [<>] );
    $mail = $filter->filter($mail);
    
    $folder = new Mail::Folder( .... );
    $filter->filter($folder);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

C<Mail::Filter> provides an interface to filtering Email through multiple
subroutines.

C<Mail::Filter> filters mail by calling each filter subroutine in turn. Each
filter subroutine is called with two arguments, the fist is the filter
object and the second is the mail being filtered.

The result from each filter sub is passed to the next filter as the mail
object. If a filter subroutine returns undef, then C<Mail::Filter> will abort
and return immediately.

=head1 CONSTRUCTOR

=over 4

=item new ( [ FILTER [, ... ]])

Create a new C<Mail::Filter> object with the given filter subroutines. Each
filter may be either a code reference or the name of a method to call
on the <Mail::Filter> object.

=back

=head1 METHODS

=over 4

=item add ( FILTER [, FILTER ...] )

Add the given filters to the end of the fliter list.

=item filter ( MAIL-OBJECT | MAIL-FOLDER )

If the first argument is a C<Mail::Internet> object then this object will
be passed through the filter list. If the first argument is a C<Mail::Folder>
object, then each message in turn will be passed through the filter list.

=item folder

If the C<filter> method is called with a C<Mail::Folder> object, then the
filter subroutines may call this method to obtain the folder object that is
being processed.

=item msgnum

If the C<filter> method is called with a C<Mail::Folder> object, then the
filter subroutines may call this method to obtain the message number
of the message that is being processed.
