Mail::Field::Generic - implementation for inspecific fields

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.

A generic implementation for header fields without own implementation. This is fine for fields like "Subject", "X-Mailer", etc., where the field holds only a string of no particular importance/format. 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::Generic is a Mail::Field
