Mail::SpamAssassin::Message::Metadata - extract metadata from a message
This class is tasked with extracting ``metadata'' from messages for use as Bayes tokens, fodder for eval tests, or other rules. Metadata is supplemental data inferred from the message, like the examples below.
It is held in two forms:
1. as name-value pairs of strings, presented in mail header format. For example, ``X-Language'' => ``en''. This is the general form for simple metadata that's useful as Bayes tokens, can be added to marked-up messages using ``add_header'', etc., such as the trusted-relay inference and language detection.
2. as more complex data structures on the $msg->{metadata} object. This is the form used for metadata like the HTML parse data, which is stored there for access by eval rule code. Because it's not simple strings, it's not added as a Bayes token by default (Bayes needs simple strings).
