Mail::Message::Field::Fast->new(DATA)

The constructor of this object does not follow the usual practise within the Mail::Box suite: it does not use the constructor Mail::Reporter::new(). Therefor it has no logging or tracing facilities.

The method can be used in one of the following ways:

* new LINE: Pass a LINE as it could be found in a file: a (possibly folded) line which is terminated by a new-line.
* new NAME, (BODY|OBJECTS), [ATTRIBUTES]: A set of values which shape the line.

Create a new header field object. Specify the whole LINE at once, and it will be split-up for you. I case you already have the parts of the header line, you may specify them separately as NAME and BODY.

In case you specify a single OBJECT, or a reference to an array of OBJECTS, these objects are processed to become suitable to fill a field, usually by simple strification. When you specify one or more Mail::Address objects, these are transformed into a string using their format method. You may also add one Mail::Message::Field, whose body is taken. In case of an array, the elements are joined into one string with a comma.

ATTRIBUTES can be exactly one string which may contain multiple attributes at once, quoted and formatted as required in RFC2822. As alternative, list of key-value pairs can be used. In this case, the values will get quoted if needed and everything formatted as the protocol demands.

example:

 my $mime = Mail::Message::Field->new(
  'Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII');

 my $mime = Mail::Message::Field->new(
  'Content-Type' => 'text/plain; charset=US-ASCII');

 my $mime = Mail::Message::Field->new(
  'Content-Type' => 'text/plain', 'charset=US-ASCII');

 my $mime = Mail::Message::Field->new(
  'Content-Type' => 'text/plain', charset => 'Latin1');

 my $mime = Mail::Message::Field->new(
  To => Mail::Address->new('My', 'me@example.com');

 my $mime = Mail::Message::Field->new(
  Cc => [ Mail::Address->new('You', 'you@example.com')
        , Mail::Address->new('His', 'he@example.com')
        ]);

But in practice, you can simply call

 my $head = Mail::Message::Head->new;
 $head->add( 'Content-Type' => 'text/plain'
           , charset => 'utf8');

which implicitly calls this constructor (when needed). You can specify the same things for Mail::Message::Head::Complete::add() as this new accepts.
