NAME

       Mail::Message::Field::Fast - one line of a message header

INHERITANCE

	Mail::Message::Field::Fast
	  is a Mail::Message::Field
	  is a Mail::Reporter

SYNOPSIS

	See Mail::Message::Field

DESCRIPTION

       This is the faster, but less flexible implementation of a header field.	The data is stored in an array, and some hacks are made to speeds
       things up.  Be gentle with me, and consider that each message contains many of these lines, so speed is very important here.

METHODS

   Constructors
       $obj->clone()
	   See "Constructors" in Mail::Message::Field

       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:

	   o   new LINE

	       Pass a LINE as it could be found in a file: a (possibly folded) line which is terminated by a new-line.

	   o   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.

	    -Option--Defined in     --Default
	     log     Mail::Reporter   <disabled>
	     trace   Mail::Reporter   <disabled>

	   log => LEVEL
	   trace => LEVEL

	   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.

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 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.

       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.
