#pod This class method constructs an Email::MessageID object

#pod and the process ID.

#pod Using these values we have the ability to ensure world uniqueness down to

=head1 NAME
Email::MessageID - Generate world unique message-ids.
=head1 VERSION
version 1.408
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Email::MessageID;
my $mid = Email::MessageID->new->in_brackets;
print "Message-ID: $mid\x0D\x0A";
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Message-ids are optional, but highly recommended, headers that identify a
message uniquely. This software generates a unique message-id.
=head1 PERL VERSION
This library should run on perls released even a long time ago. It should work
on any version of perl released in the last five years.
Although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the
minimum required version will not be increased. The version may be increased
for any reason, and there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower
the minimum required perl.
=head1 METHODS
=head2 new
my $mid = Email::MessageID->new;
my $new_mid = Email::MessageID->new( host => $myhost );
This class method constructs an Email::MessageID object
containing a unique message-id. You may specify custom C<host> and C<user>
parameters.
By default, the C<host> is generated from C<Sys::Hostname::hostname>.
By default, the C<user> is generated using C<Time::HiRes>'s C<gettimeofday>
and the process ID.
Using these values we have the ability to ensure world uniqueness down to
a specific process running on a specific host, and the exact time down to
six digits of microsecond precision.
=head2 create_host
my $domain_part = Email::MessageID->create_host;
This method returns the domain part of the message-id.
=head2 create_user
my $local_part = Email::MessageID->create_user;
This method returns a unique local part for the message-id. It includes some
random data and some predictable data.
=head2 in_brackets
When using Email::MessageID directly to populate the C<Message-ID> field, be
sure to use C<in_brackets> to get the string inside angle brackets:
header => [
...
'Message-Id' => Email::MessageID->new->in_brackets,
],
Don't make this common mistake:
header => [
...
'Message-Id' => Email::MessageID->new->as_string, # WRONG!
],
