take place.

=head2 About the body


$obj-E<gt>B<guessBodySize>

=over 4

On a delayed head, this retuns C<undef>, because when there is no header
there is also no body.

For messages in directory or network organized folders,
L<Mail::Message::size()|Mail::Message/"The Message"> usually will give a figure for the whole message
without much cost.  Subtract a few hundred bytes for the header, and
you will get a good estimate.

=back

$obj-E<gt>B<guessTimeStamp>

=over 4

Make a guess about when the message was originally posted.
On a delayed head, this returns C<undef>.
For messages in directory or network organized folders,
L<Mail::Message::timestamp()|Mail::Message/"The header"> usually will give a figure without much cost.

=head1 DIAGNOSTICS

I<Error:> Cannot build() a delayed header.

A delayed message header cannot contain any information, so cannot be
build.  You can construct complete or subset headers.

I<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.
