=head1 NAME
Mail::Message::Body::String - body of a Mail::Message stored as single string
=head1 INHERITANCE
Mail::Message::Body::String
is a Mail::Message::Body
is a Mail::Reporter
=head1 SYNOPSIS
See Mail::Message::Body
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The body (content) of a message can be stored in various ways. In this
documentation you will find the description of extra functionality you have
when a message is stored as a single scalar.
Storing a whole message in one string is only a smart choice when the content
is small or encoded. Even when stored as a scalar, you can still treat the
body as if the data is stored in lines or an external file, but this will be
slower.

=head1 DIAGNOSTICS
=over 4
=item Warning: Charset $name is not known
The encoding or decoding of a message body encounters a character set which
is not understood by Perl's Encode module.
=item Warning: No decoder defined for transfer encoding $name.
The data (message body) is encoded in a way which is not currently understood,
therefore no decoding (or recoding) can take place.
=item Warning: No encoder defined for transfer encoding $name.
The data (message body) has been decoded, but the required encoding is
unknown. The decoded data is returned.
=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 file $filename for message body scalar: $!
A L<Mail::Message::Body::String|Mail::Message::Body::String> object is to be created from a named
file, but it is impossible to read that file to retrieve the lines within.
=item Warning: Unknown line terminator $eol ignored
