def body
  if block_given?
    self.body = yield
  end
  @body
end

#body=(body) ⇒ Object

Sets the body of the posting to be transmitted.

Do NOT use any dot stuffing or <CRLF>.<CRLF> sequences - dot-stuffing will happen automatically when sending.

body can be a TMail::Mail object, a string or any line-based IO object supporting readline, where the content has to be a valid mail, able to be parsed. The body attribute will be set to a TMail::Mail object, ready to be sent.

Example

# ...
request = Post.new # use subclass Post
request.body =<<-EOF
Newsgroups: alt.test
From: Demo User <[email protected]>
Subject: I am a test posting

This is just a test posting
EOF
puts request.body.to_s

  # => From: Demo User <[email protected]>
  # => Subject: I am a test posting
  # => Newsgroups: alt.test
  # => 
  # => This is just a test posting.
