NAME

6       Mail::Field::Generic - implementation for inspecific fields
7

INHERITANCE

9        Mail::Field::Generic
10          is a Mail::Field
11

SYNOPSIS

13        use Mail::Field;
14        my $field = Mail::Field->new('Subject', 'some subject text');
15        my $field = Mail::Field->new(subject => 'some subject text');

DESCRIPTION

DIAGNOSTICS

73       Error: Undefined subroutine <method> called
74           Mail::Field objects use autoloading to compile new functionality.
75           Apparently, the method called is not implemented for the specific
76           class of the field object.
