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

The MailTools bundle was developed by Graham Barr. Later, Mark Overmeer took over maintenance without commitment to further development. Mail::Cap by Gisle Aas <aas@oslonett.no>. Mail::Field::AddrList by Peter Orbaek <poe@cit.dk>. Mail::Mailer and Mail::Send by Tim Bunce <Tim.Bunce@ig.co.uk>. For other contributors see ChangeLog.

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. Extends "DESCRIPTION" in Mail::Field.

Extends "DETAILS" in Mail::Field.

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.

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