NAME

Mail::Field::AddrList - object representation of e-mail address lists

INHERITANCE

Mail::Field::AddrList is a Mail::Field

SYNOPSIS

use Mail::Field::AddrList; $to = Mail::Field->new(To); $from = Mail::Field->new(From, poe@daimi.aau.dk (Peter Orbaek)); $from->create(foo@bar.com => Mr. Foo, poe => Peter); $from->parse(foo@bar.com (Mr Foo), Peter Orbaek <poe>); # make a RFC822 header string print $from->stringify(),“\n”; # extract e-mail addresses and names @addresses = $from->addresses(); # strings @names = $from->names(); # strings @addr = $from->addr_list(); # Mail::Address objects (v2.00) # adjoin a new address to the list $from->set_address(foo@bar.com, Mr. Foo);

DESCRIPTION

Defines parsing and formatting of address field, for the following fields: To, From, Cc, Reply-To, and Sender.

All the normally used features of the address field specification of RFC2822 are implemented, but some complex (and therefore hardly ever used) constructs will not be understood. Use Mail::Message::Field::Full in MailBox if you need full RFC compliance.

Error: Undefined subroutine <method> called
Mail::Field objects use autoloading to compile new functionality. Apparently, the method called is not implemented for the specific class of the field object.
