=item $obj-E<gt>B<escapedBody>()

Mbox folders contain multiple messages in one file, using a separator
line to keep them apart.  Typically, these lines start with "From ".
Lines within the message could interfere with this separator, and should
therefore be translated.

This method will return the escaped text of the body as reference.

=item $obj-E<gt>B<folder>( [$folder] )

Inherited, see L<Mail::Box::Message/"The message">

=item $obj-E<gt>B<fromLine>( [$line] )

Many people detest file-style folders because they store messages all in
one file, where a line starting with C<From > leads the header.  If we
receive a message from a file-based folder, we store that line.  If we write
to such a file, but there is no such line stored, then we try to generate
one.

If $line is provided, then the starting line is set to this value.

Write one message to a file handle.  It is the message including the
leading 'From ' line and trailing blank.  The From-line may interfere
with lines in the body: those lines are escaped with an extra '>'.

example: 

 $msg->write(\*FILE);    # print the message with encaps to FILE
 $msg->write;            # message with encaps to selected filehandle
 $msg->print(\*FILE);    # the message without encaps.

=item Error: Cannot coerce a $class object into a $class object

=item Error: Cannot include forward source as $include.

Unknown alternative for the L<forward(include)|Mail::Message::Construct::Forward/"Constructing a message">.  Valid choices are
C<NO>, C<INLINE>, C<ATTACH>, and C<ENCAPSULATE>.

=item Error: Cannot include reply source as $include.

Unknown alternative for the C<include> option of L<reply()|Mail::Message::Construct::Reply/"Constructing a message">.  Valid
choices are C<NO>, C<INLINE>, and C<ATTACH>.

=item Error: Method bounce requires To, Cc, or Bcc

The message L<bounce()|Mail::Message::Construct::Bounce/"Constructing a message"> method forwards a received message off to someone
else without modification; you must specified it's new destination.
If you have the urge not to specify any destination, you probably
are looking for L<reply()|Mail::Message::Construct::Reply/"Constructing a message">. When you wish to modify the content, use
L<forward()|Mail::Message::Construct::Forward/"Constructing a message">.

=item Error: Method forwardAttach requires a preamble

=item Error: Method forwardEncapsulate requires a preamble

=item Error: No address to create forwarded to.

If a forward message is created, a destination address must be specified.

=item Error: No default mailer found to send message.

The message L<send()|Mail::Message/"The message"> mechanism had not enough information to automatically
find a mail transfer agent to sent this message.  Specify a mailer
explicitly using the C<via> options.

=item Error: No rebuild rule $name defined.

=item Error: Only build() Mail::Message's; they are not in a folder yet

You may wish to construct a message to be stored in a some kind
of folder, but you need to do that in two steps.  First, create a
normal L<Mail::Message|Mail::Message>, and then add it to the folder.  During this
L<Mail::Box::addMessage()|Mail::Box/"The folder"> process, the message will get L<coerce()|Mail::Message/"Internals">-d
into the right message type, adding storage information and the like.

=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.

=item Error: Unable to read delayed body.

=item Error: coercion starts with some object
