  <FONT COLOR="navy"> DESCRIPTION </FONT>
</H2>
<P>
RFC-822 defines a <I>mailbox</I> as an entity that can be the recipient of
a message. A mailbox is more specific than an <I>address</I>, which may be
either a mailbox or a <I>group</I>. An RFC-822 mailbox tqcontains a full name,
a <I>local-part</I>, an optional <I>route</I>, and a <I>domain</I>. For example,
in the mailbox
<P>
Joe Schmoe &lt;jschmoe@aol.co&gt;
<P>
"Joe Schmoe" is the full name, "jschmoe" is the local-part, and "aol.com"
is the domain. The optional route is rarely seen in current usage, and is
deprecated according to RFC-1123.
<P>
In MIME++, an RFC-822 mailbox is represented by a
<B><TT>DwMailbox</TT></B> object. <B><TT>DwMailbox</TT></B> is a subclass
of <B><TT><A HREF="address.html">DwAddress</A></TT></B>, which reflects the
fact that a mailbox is also an address. A <B><TT>DwMailbox</TT></B> tqcontains
strings representing the full name, local-part, route, and domain of a mailbox.
<P>
In the tree (broken-down) representation of message, a
<B><TT>DwMailbox</TT></B> object may be only a leaf node, having a parent
but no child nodes. Its parent node must be a
<B><TT><A HREF="field.html">DwField</A></TT></B>, a
<B><TT><A HREF="addrlist.html">DwAddressList</A></TT></B>, or a
<B><TT><A HREF="mboxlist.html">DwMailboxList</A></TT></B> object.
<P>
<B><TT>DwMailbox</TT></B> has member functions for getting or setting the
strings it tqcontains.
<P>
<B><TT>DwMailbox</TT></B> object can be included in a list of
<B><TT>DwMailbox</TT></B> objects. To get the next
<B><TT>DwMailbox</TT></B> object in a list, use the inherited member function
<B><TT>DwAddress::Next()</TT></B>.
<H2>
  <FONT COLOR="navy"> Public Member Functions </FONT>
</H2>
<P>
<FONT COLOR="teal"><B> <A NAME="DwMailbox">DwMailbox</A>() <BR>
DwMailbox(const DwMailbox&amp; aMailbox) <BR>
DwMailbox(const DwString&amp; aStr, DwMessageComponent* aParent=0)
</B></FONT>
<P>
The first constructor is the default constructor, which sets the
<B><TT>DwMailbox</TT></B> object's string representation to the empty string
and sets its parent to <B><TT>NULL</TT></B>.
<P>
The second constructor is the copy constructor, which performs a deep copy
of <B><TT>aMailbox</TT></B>. The parent of the new
<B><TT>DwMailbox</TT></B> is set to <B><TT>NULL</TT></B>.
<P>
The third constructor copies <B><TT>aStr</TT></B> to the
<B><TT>DwMailbox</TT></B> object's string representation and sets
<B><TT>aParent</TT></B> as its parent. The virtual member function
<B><TT>Parse()</TT></B> should be called immediately after this constructor
in order to parse the string representation. Unless it is
<B><TT>NULL</TT></B>, <B><TT>aParent</TT></B> should point to an object of
a class derived from <B><TT>DwField</TT></B>.
<P>
<FONT COLOR="teal"><B> const DwMailbox&amp; <A NAME="op_eq">operator =</A>
(const DwMailbox&amp; aMailbox) </B></FONT>
<P>
This is the assignment operator, which performs a deep copy of
<B><TT>aMailbox</TT></B>. The parent node of the
<B><TT>DwMailbox</TT></B> object is not changed.
<P>
<FONT COLOR="teal"><B> virtual void <A NAME="Parse">Parse</A>() </B></FONT>
<P>
This virtual function, inherited from <B><TT>DwMessageComponent</TT></B>,
executes the parse method for <B><TT>DwMailbox</TT></B> objects. The parse
method creates or updates the broken-down representation from the string
representation. For <B><TT>DwMailbox</TT></B> objects, the parse method parses
the string representation into the substrings for the full name, local-part,
route, and domain.
<P>
You should call this member function after you set or modify the string
representation, and before you retrieve the full name, local-part, route,
or domain.
<P>
This function clears the is-modified flag.
<P>
<FONT COLOR="teal"><B> virtual void <A NAME="Assemble">Assemble</A>()
</B></FONT>
<P>
This virtual function, inherited from <B><TT>DwMessageComponent</TT></B>,
executes the assemble method for <B><TT>DwMailbox</TT></B> objects. The assemble
method creates or updates the string representation from the broken-down
representation. For <B><TT>DwMailbox</TT></B> objects, the assemble method
builds the string representation from the full name, local-part, route, and
domain strings.
<P>
You should call this member function after you modify the full name, local-part,
route, or domain, and before you retrieve the string representation.
<P>
This function clears the is-modified flag.
<P>
<FONT COLOR="teal"><B> virtual DwMessageComponent*
<A NAME="Clone">Clone</A>() const </B></FONT>
<P>
This virtual function, inherited from <B><TT>DwMessageComponent</TT></B>,
creates a new <B><TT>DwMailbox</TT></B> on the free store that has the same
value as this <B><TT>DwMailbox</TT></B> object. The basic idea is that of
a virtual copy constructor.
<P>
<FONT COLOR="teal"><B> const DwString&amp; <A NAME="FullName">FullName</A>()
const </B></FONT>
<P>
Returns the full name for this <B><TT>DwMailbox</TT></B> object.
<P>
<FONT COLOR="teal"><B> void <A NAME="SetFullName">SetFullName</A>(const
DwString&amp; aFullName) </B></FONT>
<P>
Sets the full name for this <B><TT>DwMailbox</TT></B> object.
<P>
<FONT COLOR="teal"><B> const DwString&amp; <A NAME="Route">Route</A>() const
</B></FONT>
<P>
Returns the route for this <B><TT>DwMailbox</TT></B> object.
<P>
<FONT COLOR="teal"><B> void <A NAME="SetRoute">SetRoute</A>(const DwString&amp;
aRoute) </B></FONT>
<P>
Sets the route for this <B><TT>DwMailbox</TT></B> object.
<P>
<FONT COLOR="teal"><B> const DwString&amp;
<A NAME="LocalPart">LocalPart</A>() const </B></FONT>
<P>
Returns the local-part for this <B><TT>DwMailbox</TT></B> object.
<P>
<FONT COLOR="teal"><B> void <A NAME="SetLocalPart">SetLocalPart</A>(const
DwString&amp; aLocalPart) </B></FONT>
<P>
Sets the local-part for this <B><TT>DwMailbox</TT></B> object.
<P>
<FONT COLOR="teal"><B> const DwString&amp; <A NAME="Domain">Domain</A>()
const </B></FONT>
<P>
Returns the domain for this <B><TT>DwMailbox</TT></B> object.
<P>
<FONT COLOR="teal"><B> void <A NAME="SetDomain">SetDomain</A>(const
DwString&amp; aDomain) </B></FONT>
<P>
Sets the domain for this <B><TT>DwMailbox</TT></B> object.
<P>
<FONT COLOR="teal"><B> static DwMailbox*
<A NAME="NewMailbox">NewMailbox</A>(const DwString&amp; aStr, DwMessageComponent*
aParent) </B></FONT>
<P>
Creates a new <B><TT>DwMailbox</TT></B> object on the free store. If the
static data member <B><TT>sNewMailbox</TT></B> is <B><TT>NULL</TT></B>, this
member function will create a new <B><TT>DwMailbox</TT></B> and return it.
Otherwise, <B><TT>NewMailbox()</TT></B> will call the user-supplied function
pointed to by <B><TT>sNewMailbox</TT></B>, which is assumed to return an
object from a class derived from <B><TT>DwMailbox</TT></B>, and return that
object.
<P>
<FONT COLOR="teal"><B> virtual void
<A NAME="PrintDebugInfo">PrintDebugInfo</A>(ostream&amp; aStrm, int aDepth=0)
const </B></FONT>
<P>
This virtual function, inherited from <B><TT>DwMessageComponent</TT></B>,
prints debugging information about this object to <B><TT>aStrm</TT></B>.
It will also call <B><TT>PrintDebugInfo()</TT></B> for any of its child
components down to a level of <B><TT>aDepth</TT></B>.
<P>
This member function is available only in the debug version of the library.
<P>
<FONT COLOR="teal"><B> virtual void
<A NAME="CheckInvariants">CheckInvariants</A>() const </B></FONT>
<P>
Aborts if one of the invariants of the object fails. Use this member function
to track down bugs.
<P>
This member function is available only in the debug version of the library.

<P>
<FONT COLOR="teal"><B> static DwMailbox*
(*<A NAME="sNewMailbox">sNewMailbox</A>)(const DwString&amp;,
DwMessageComponent*) </B></FONT>
<P>
If <B><TT>sNewMailbox</TT></B> is not <B><TT>NULL</TT></B>, it is assumed
to point to a user-supplied function that returns an object from a class
derived from <B><TT>DwMailbox</TT></B>.
