     # use file subroutines to write/read Eudora mailbox files
     #
     tie *MAILBOX, 'Tie::Eudora';
     open MAILBOX,'>',$mbx;
     print MAILBOX @mailbox;
     close MAILBOX;
     open MAILBOX,'<',$mbx;
     @mailbox = <MAILBOX>;
     close MAILBOX;

DESCRIPTION

The "Tie::Eudora" program module provides a File Handle Tie package for reading and writing of Eudora mailbox files. The "Tie::Eudora" package handles each email in Eudora mailbox files as a record. Each record is read and written not as a scalar text string but as an array of "field-name, field-body" pairs corresponding to the header and body fields in the email.

Email Array

An email array, "@email", is an array of "field-name, field-body" pairs where the even index array members are the "field-name" and the odd index array members are the field-values. The "field-name, field-body" pairs, except for the last pair, are as specified in RFC 822, http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc822.txt, and are in the order that they appear in an "$encoded_email" encoded in accordance with RFC 822. The last "field-name, field-body" pair has a "field-name" of 'X-Body' and the "field-body" contents is the body of the "$encoded_email".

Mailbox Array

A mailbox array, "@mailbox", is a list of references to email arrays.

REQUIREMENTS
Eudora Mailbox Format

A "@mailbox" array, written using the appropriate "Tie::Eudora" package file subroutines, shall[1] produce a Eudora mailbox file that can be read by Eudora 5.0. One appropriate use of the "Tie::Eudora" package subroutines to create a Eudora mailbox file is as follows:

     tie *MAILBOX, 'Tie::Eudora';
     open MAILBOX,'>',$mbx;
     print MAILBOX @Write_mailbox;
     close MAILBOX;

Eudora Mailbox Lossless

The "@read_mailbox" array from reading a mailbox file in accordance with Eudora Mailbox Format using the appropriate "Tie::Eudora" package file subroutines, shall[1] be exactly the same as the mailbox array "@write_mailbox" used to write the Eudora mailbox file. One appropriate use of the "Tie::Eudora" package subroutines to read a Eudora mailbox file is as follows:

     tie *MAILBOX, 'Tie::Eudora';
     open MAILBOX,'<',$mbx;
     @read_mailbox = <MAILBOX>;
     close MAILBOX;

RFC822 Email Format

A "@mailbox" array, written using the "Tie::Eudora" package file subroutines, shall[1] create a Eudora mailbox file that can be read by Eudora 5.0. A typical use of the "Tie::Eudora" package subroutines are as follows:

     tie *MAILBOX, 'Tie::Eudora';
     open MAILBOX,'>',$mbx;
     print MAILBOX @Write_mailbox;
     close MAILBOX;

RFC822 Email Lossless

The "@read_mailbox" array from reading a mailbox file in accordance with Eudora[1] using the "Tie::Eudora" package file subroutines, shall[1] be exactly the same as the mailbox array "@write_mailbox" used to write the Eudora mailbox file.

     tie *MAILBOX, 'Tie::Eudora';
     open MAILBOX,'<',$mbx;
     @read_mailbox = <MAILBOX>;
     close MAILBOX;
