DIAGNOSTICS

Error: Cannot coerce a $class object into a $class object
    Cast by coerce()

Error: Cannot include forward source as $include.
    Unknown alternative for the forward(include). Valid choices are "NO", "INLINE", "ATTACH", and "ENCAPSULATE". Cast by forward()

Error: Cannot include reply source as $include.
    Unknown alternative for the "include" option of reply(). Valid choices are "NO", "INLINE", and "ATTACH". Cast by reply()

Error: Method bounce requires To, Cc, or Bcc
    The message bounce() method forwards a received message off to someone else without modification; you must specified it's new destination. If you have the urge not to specify any destination, you probably are looking for reply(). When you wish to modify the content, use forward(). Cast by bounce()

Error: Method forwardAttach requires a preamble
    Cast by forwardAttach()

Error: Method forwardEncapsulate requires a preamble
    Cast by forwardEncapsulate()

Error: No address to create forwarded to.
    If a forward message is created, a destination address must be specified. Cast by forward()

Error: No default mailer found to send message.
    The message send() mechanism had not enough information to automatically find a mail transfer agent to sent this message. Specify a mailer explicitly using the "via" options. Cast by send()

Error: No rebuild rule $name defined.
    Cast by rebuild()

Error: Only build() Mail::Message's; they are not in a folder yet
    You may wish to construct a message to be stored in a some kind of folder, but you need to do that in two steps. First, create a normal Mail::Message, and then add it to the folder. During this Mail::Box::addMessage() process, the message will get coerce()-d into the right message type, adding storage information and the like. Cast by build()

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. Cast by notImplemented()

Error: Unable to read delayed body.
    Cast by loadBody()

Error: coercion starts with some object
    Cast by coerce()
