NAME

       Mail::Message::Field::Date - message header field with uris

INHERITANCE

	Mail::Message::Field::Date
	  is a Mail::Message::Field::Structured
	  is a Mail::Message::Field::Full
	  is a Mail::Message::Field
	  is a Mail::Reporter

SYNOPSIS

	my $f = Mail::Message::Field->new(Date => time);

DESCRIPTION

       Dates are a little more tricky than it should be: the formatting permits a few constructs more than other RFCs use for timestamps.  For
       instance, a small subset of timezone abbreviations are permitted.

       The studied date field will reformat the content into a standard form.

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.

       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 date fields.
	   Is is not possible to add attributes to date 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.
