SYNOPSIS
my $cc = Mail::Message::Field::Full->new('Cc');
my $me = Mail::Message::Field::Address->parse('"Test" <test@mail.box>')
or die;
my $other = Mail::Message::Field::Address->new(phrase => 'Other'
, address => 'other@example.com')
or die;
$cc->addAddress($me);
$cc->addAddress($other, group => 'them');
$cc->addAddress(phrase => 'third', address => 'more@any.museum'
, group => 'them');
my $group = $cc->addGroup(name => 'collegues');
$group->addAddress($me);
$group->addAddress(phrase => "You", address => 'you@example.com');
my $msg = Mail::Message->build(Cc => $cc);
print $msg->string;
my $g = Mail::Message::Field::AddrGroup->new(...);
$cc->addGroup($g);
DESCRIPTION
All header fields which contain e-mail addresses only. Not all address fields have the same
possibilities, but they are all parsed the same: you never know how broken the applications are which
produce those messages.
When you try to create constructs which are not allowed for a certain kind of field, you will be warned.

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.
Error: Field name too long (max $length), in '$name'
It is not specified in the RFCs how long a field name can be, but at least it should be a few
characters shorter than the line wrap.
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: No attributes for address fields.
Is is not possible to add attributes to address fields: it is not permitted by the RFCs.
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.
