- =head1 NAME
-
- Mail::Field::AddrList - object representation of e-mail address lists
-
- =head1 INHERITANCE
-
- Mail::Field::AddrList
- is a Mail::Field
-
- =head1 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');
-
- =head1 DESCRIPTION
-
- Defines parsing and formatting of address field, for the following
- fields: C<To>, C<From>, C<Cc>, C<Reply-To>, and C<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 inderstood. Use Mail::Message::Field::Full
- in MailBox if you need full RFC compliance.
