So, I spent a few hours today writing more comprehensive tests for Email::Abstract. It started when Mark Overmeer noted that he thought there was a bug in the way Mail::Message objects' newlines were handled. I had a look at the tests for Email::Abstract and basically found that there were a huge number of bugs not exposed by the lousy testing.
I've tried to fix them all, and I've gotten 100% test coverage, with much more assertive tests. Here are some of the most important bugs I've addressed: * newlines were lost in the bodies of Mail::Message and Mail::Internet objs * headers were not unfolded from Mail::Internet and MIME::Entity objects * the means of determining the adapter classes were not consistent I'm a little worried about some of the changes, especially my forcible unfolding of headers for Mail::Header objects. Then again, I believe things are correct NOW and it's hard to imagine anyone relied on this BEFORE. I want to use Email::Abstract in Email::Sender, so getting this right is important. I want to make sure the existing behavior is good before I add anything else -- and I will definitely add a stream_to (print_to?) method in a release soon. So, testing, patches, and / or review appreciated. It's in svn and on the CPAN. -- rjbs
