NAME

       Email::MIME::Header - the header of a MIME message

VERSION

       version 1.946

DESCRIPTION

       This object behaves like a standard Email::Simple header, with the following changes:

       •   the "header" method automatically decodes encoded headers if possible

       •   the "header_as_obj" method returns an object representation of the header value

       •   the "header_raw" method returns the raw header; (read only for now)

       •   stringification uses "header_raw" rather than "header"

       Note that "header_set" does not do encoding for you, and expects an encoded header.  Thus,
       "header_set" round-trips with "header_raw", not "header"!  Be sure to properly encode your
       headers with "Encode::encode('MIME-Header', $value)" before passing them to "header_set".
       And be sure to use minimal version 2.83 of Encode module due to bugs in MIME-Header.

       Alternately, if you have Unicode (character) strings to set in headers, use the
       "header_str_set" method.
