ONLINE DEMO

There is an online demo of the functionality at https://corion.net/mail-urlfor.psgi .

Paste a valid message id into the input field and click on the appropriate link to open the email in that mail client if the mail exists in that mail client.

DESCRIPTION

This module allows you to create (clickable) URLs to emails that will open in the respective (native) client or Gmail.

This is useful if you have a web application but still want to connect an object on the web page with an email in a local mail client.

METHODS

Mail::URLFor->new

# Only link to mails on Gmail
my $links = Mail::URLFor->new(
    clients => [Mail::URLFor::Plugin::Gmail->new],
);

Options

• clients

  Arrayref of the classes (or instances) of mail clients to render links for.

  Defaults to all ::Plugin classes.

->url_for( $rfc822messageid, $client = 'Gmail' )

my $url = $links->url_for( '1234.abc@example.com', 'Gmail' );
print "<a href="$url">See mail</a>"

Renders the URL using the moniker of the plugin.

Returns something that should mostly be treated as an opaque string. Returns undef, if the moniker is unknown.

Currently, the returned string is always percent-encoded already, but this may change in the future.

->urls_for( $rfc822messageid )

my $urls = $links->urls_for( '1234.abc@example.com' );
print $urls->{'Gmail'};
