+module Mail
+  # The Message class provides a single point of access to all things to do with an
+  # email message.
+  #
+  # You create a new email message by calling the Mail::Message.new method, or just
+  # Mail.new
+  #
+  # A Message object by default has the following objects inside it:
+  #
+  # * A Header object which contains all information and settings of the header of the email
+  # * Body object which contains all parts of the email that are not part of the header, this
+  #   includes any attachments, body text, MIME parts etc.
+  #
+  # ==Per RFC2822
+  #
+  #  2.1. General Description
+  #
+  #   At the most basic level, a message is a series of characters.  A
+  #   message that is conformant with this standard is comprised of
+  #   characters with values in the range 1 through 127 and interpreted as
+  #   US-ASCII characters [ASCII].  For brevity, this document sometimes
+  #   refers to this range of characters as simply "US-ASCII characters".
+  #
+  #   Note: This standard specifies that messages are made up of characters
+  #   in the US-ASCII range of 1 through 127.  There are other documents,
+  #   specifically the MIME document series [RFC2045, RFC2046, RFC2047,
+  #   RFC2048, RFC2049], that extend this standard to allow for values
+  #   outside of that range.  Discussion of those mechanisms is not within
+  #   the scope of this standard.
+  #
+  #   Messages are divided into lines of characters.  A line is a series of
+  #   characters that is delimited with the two characters carriage-return
+  #   and line-feed; that is, the carriage return (CR) character (ASCII
+  #   value 13) followed immediately by the line feed (LF) character (ASCII
+  #   value 10).  (The carriage-return/line-feed pair is usually written in
+  #   this document as "CRLF".)
+  #
+  #   A message consists of header fields (collectively called "the header
+  #   of the message") followed, optionally, by a body.  The header is a
+  #   sequence of lines of characters with special syntax as defined in
+  #   this standard. The body is simply a sequence of characters that
+  #   follows the header and is separated from the header by an empty line
+  #   (i.e., a line with nothing preceding the CRLF).

+    # ==Making an email
+    #
+    # You can make an new mail object via a block, passing a string, file or direct assignment.
+    #
+    # ===Making an email via a block
+    #
+    #  mail = Mail.new do
+    #       from 'mikel@test.lindsaar.net'
+    #         to 'you@test.lindsaar.net'
+    #    subject 'This is a test email'
+    #       body File.read('body.txt')
+    #  end
+    #
+    #  mail.to_s #=> "From: mikel@test.lindsaar.net\r\nTo: you@...
+    #
+    # ===Making an email via passing a string
+    #
+    #  mail = Mail.new("To: mikel@test.lindsaar.net\r\nSubject: Hello\r\n\r\nHi there!")
+    #  mail.body.to_s #=> 'Hi there!'
+    #  mail.subject   #=> 'Hello'
+    #  mail.to        #=> 'mikel@test.lindsaar.net'
+    #
+    # ===Making an email from a file
+    #
+    #  mail = Mail.read('path/to/file.eml')
+    #  mail.body.to_s #=> 'Hi there!'
+    #  mail.subject   #=> 'Hello'
+    #  mail.to        #=> 'mikel@test.lindsaar.net'
+    #
+    # ===Making an email via assignment
+    #
+    # You can assign values to a mail object via four approaches:
+    #
+    # * Message#field_name=(value)
+    # * Message#field_name(value)
+    # * Message#['field_name']=(value)
+    # * Message#[:field_name]=(value)
+    #
+    # Examples:
+    #
+    #  mail = Mail.new
+    #  mail['from'] = 'mikel@test.lindsaar.net'
+    #  mail[:to]    = 'you@test.lindsaar.net'
+    #  mail.subject 'This is a test email'
+    #  mail.body    = 'This is a body'
+    #
+    #  mail.to_s #=> "From: mikel@test.lindsaar.net\r\nTo: you@...

+    #
+    # If you define a delivery_handler, then you are responsible for the
+    # following actions in the delivery cycle:
+    #
+    # * Appending the mail object to Mail.deliveries as you see fit.
+    # * Checking the mail.perform_deliveries flag to decide if you should
+    #   actually call :deliver! the mail object or not.
+    # * Checking the mail.raise_delivery_errors flag to decide if you
+    #   should raise delivery errors if they occur.
+    # * Actually calling :deliver! (with the bang) on the mail object to
+    #   get it to deliver itself.

+    # as the assigned Message-IDs by Mail (if not already defined as the same) will ensure
+    # that the two objects are unique, and this comparison will ALWAYS return false.
+    #
+    # So the == operator has been defined like so:  Two messages are the same if they have
+    # the same content, ignoring the Message-ID field, unless BOTH emails have a defined and
+    # different Message-ID value, then they are false.
+    #
+    # So, in practice the == operator works like this:

+    #   follows the header and is separated from the header by an empty line
+    #   (i.e., a line with nothing preceding the CRLF).
