class Net::IMAP::Envelope

Net::IMAP::Envelope represents envelope structures of messages.

Note: When the sender and reply_to fields are absent or empty, they will return the same value as from. Also, fields may return values that are invalid for well-formed [RFC5322] messages when the message is malformed or a draft message.

See [IMAP4rev1 §7.4.2] and [IMAP4rev2 §7.5.2] for full description of the envelope fields, and Message envelope and body structure at Net::IMAP for other relevant RFCs.

Public Instance Methods

bcc → array of Net::IMAP::Address

Source

# File lib/net/imap/response_data.rb, line 626

Returns an array of Address that represents the Bcc header.

cc → array of Net::IMAP::Address

Source

# File lib/net/imap/response_data.rb, line 620

Returns an array of Address that represents the Cc header.

date → string

Source

# File lib/net/imap/response_data.rb, line 550

Returns a string that represents the Date header.

Note: For a well-formed [RFC5322] message, the date field must not be nil. However it can be nil for a malformed or draft message.

from → array of Net::IMAP::Address or nil

Source

# File lib/net/imap/response_data.rb, line 573

Returns an array of Address that represents the From header.

If the From header is absent, or is present but empty, the server returns nil for this envelope field.

Note: For a well-formed [RFC5322] message, the from field must not be nil. However it can be nil for a malformed or draft message.

in_reply_to → string

Source

# File lib/net/imap/response_data.rb, line 632

Returns a string that represents the In-Reply-To header.

Note

For a well-formed [RFC5322] message, the in_reply_to field, if present, must not be empty. But it can still return an empty string for malformed messages.

Servers should return nil when the header is absent and an empty string when it is present but empty. Some servers may return a nil envelope member in the “present but empty” case. Clients should treat nil and empty string as identical.

message_id → string

Source

# File lib/net/imap/response_data.rb, line 648

Returns a string that represents the Message-ID.

Note

For a well-formed [RFC5322] message, the message_id field, if present, must not be empty. But it can still return an empty string for malformed messages.

reply_to → array of Net::IMAP::Address or nil

Source

# File lib/net/imap/response_data.rb, line 600

Returns an array of Address that represents the Reply-To header.

Note: If the Reply-To header is absent, or is present but empty, the server sets this field to be the same value as from. Therefore, in a well-formed [RFC5322] message, the reply_to envelope field must not be nil. However it can be nil for a malformed or draft message.

sender → array of Net::IMAP::Address or nil

Source

# File lib/net/imap/response_data.rb, line 587

Returns an array of Address that represents the Sender header.

Note: If the Sender header is absent, or is present but empty, the server sets this field to be the same value as from. Therefore, in a well-formed [RFC5322] message, the sender envelope field must not be nil. However it can be nil for a malformed or draft message.

subject → string or nil

Source

# File lib/net/imap/response_data.rb, line 561

Returns a string that represents the Subject header, if it is present.

Note: Servers should return nil when the header is absent and an empty string when it is present but empty. Some servers may return a nil envelope member in the “present but empty” case. Clients should treat nil and empty string as identical.

to → array of Net::IMAP::Address

Source

# File lib/net/imap/response_data.rb, line 614

Returns an array of Address that represents the To header.
