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.

       Extends "DESCRIPTION" in Mail::Field.

DIAGNOSTICS

       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.
