METHODS
Constructors
$obj->clone
See "Constructors" in Mail::Message::Field
Mail::Message::Field::Structured->from(FIELD, OPTIONS)
See "Constructors" in Mail::Message::Field::Full
Mail::Message::Field::Structured->new(DATA)
o new LINE
Pass a LINE as it could be found in a file: a (possibly folded) line which is
terminated by a new-line.
o new NAME, BODY, OPTIONS
A set of values which shape the line.
The NAME is a wellformed header name (you may use wellformedName()) to be sure about
the casing. The BODY is a string, one object, or an ref-array of objects. In case of
objects, they must fit to the constructor of the field: the types which are accepted
may differ. The optional ATTRIBUTE list contains Mail::Message::Field::Attribute
objects. Finally, there are some OPTIONS.
Option --Defined in --Default
attributes []
charset Mail::Message::Field::Full undef
datum undef
encoding Mail::Message::Field::Full 'q'
force Mail::Message::Field::Full false
language Mail::Message::Field::Full undef
log Mail::Reporter 'WARNINGS'
trace Mail::Reporter 'WARNINGS'
. attributes => ATTRS
There are various ways to specify these attributes: pass a reference to an array
which list of key-value pairs representing attributes, or reference to a hash
containing these pairs, or an array with Mail::Message::Field::Attribute objects.
. charset => STRING
. datum => STRING
The method name body is very confusing, even in the RFC. In MailBox, for
historical reasons, body() returns the past of the field contents before the first
semi-colon. foldedBody() and unfoldedBody() address the whole field.
There is no common name for the piece of data before the parameters (attributes)
in the field-content mentioned in the RFCs, so let's call it datum.
. encoding => 'q'|'Q'|'b'|'B'
. force => BOOLEAN
. language => STRING
. log => LEVEL
. trace => LEVEL
example: of a structured field
my @attrs = (Mail::Message::Field::Attribute->new(...), ...);
my @options = (extra => 'the color blue');
my $t = Mail::Message::Field::Full->new(To => \@addrs, @attrs, @options);

Access to the content
$obj->addresses
See "Access to the content" in Mail::Message::Field
$obj->attribute(OBJECT|(STRING, OPTIONS)|(NAME,VALUE,OPTIONS))
Add an attribute to the field. The attributes are added left-to-right into the string
representation of the field, although the order of the attributes is un-important,
according to the RFCs.
You may pass a fully prepared Mail::Message::Field::Attribute OBJECT, if you like to
do all preparations for correct representation of the data yourself. You may also
pass one STRING, which is a fully prepared attribute. This STRING will not be
changed, so be careful about quoting and encodings.
As third possibility, you can specify an attribute NAME and its VALUE. An attribute
object will be created for you implicitly in both cases where such object is not
supplied, passing the OPTIONS. See Mail::Message::Field::Attribute::new() about the
available OPTIONS.
The attribute object is returned, however, when continuations are used this may be an
object you already know about. "undef" is returned when construction fails (when the
attribute is incorrect).
example:
$f->attribute(filename => 'passwd');
$f->attribute(filename => 'passwd', use_continuations => 0);
my $attr = Mail::Message::Field::Attribute->new(...);
$f->attribute($attr);
$obj->attributes
Returns a list with all attributes, which are all Mail::Message::Field::Attribute
objects. The attributes are not ordered in any way. The list may be empty. Double
attributes or continuations are folded into one.

DETAILS
DIAGNOSTICS
Warning: Field content is not numerical: $content
The numeric value of a field is requested (for instance the "Lines" or
"Content-Length" fields should be numerical), however the data contains weird
characters.
Warning: Illegal character in charset '$charset'
The field is created with an utf8 string which only contains data from the specified
character set. However, that character set can never be a valid name because it
contains characters which are not permitted.
Warning: Illegal character in field name $name
A new field is being created which does contain characters not permitted by the RFCs.
Using this field in messages may break other e-mail clients or transfer agents, and
therefore mutulate or extinguish your message.
Warning: Illegal character in language '$lang'
The field is created with data which is specified to be in a certain language,
however, the name of the language cannot be valid: it contains characters which are
not permitted by the RFCs.
Warning: Illegal encoding '$encoding', used 'q'
The RFCs only permit base64 ("b " or "B ") or quoted-printable ("q" or "Q") encoding.
Other than these four options are illegal.
Error: Package $package does not implement $method.
Fatal error: the specific package (or one of its superclasses) does not implement this
method where it should. This message means that some other related classes do
implement this method however the class at hand does not. Probably you should
investigate this and probably inform the author of the package.
