=head1 INHERITANCE

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


=head1 SYNOPSIS

 my $f = Mail::Message::Field->new(Cc =>
                'Mail::Box <mailbox@overmeer.net>');

 my $cc = Mail::Message::Field->new('Cc');
 $cc->addAddress('Mail::Box <mailbox@overmeer.net>');
 $cc->addAddress
   ( phrase  => 'Mail::Box'
   , email   => 'mailbox@overmeer.net'
   , comment => 'Our mailing list'     # deprecated by RFC
   );

 mu $ma = Mail::Message::Field::Address->new(...);
 $cc->addAddress($ma);

 my $mi = Mail::Identity->new(...);
 $cc->addAddress($mi);

 my $g  = Mail::Message::Field::AddrGroup->new(...);
 $cc->addGroup($g);


=head1 DESCRIPTION

All header fields which contain e-mail addresses only.  Not all address
fields have the same possibilities, but they are all parsed the same:
you never know how broken the applications are which produce those
messages.

When you try to create constructs which are not allowed for a certain
kind of field, you will be warned.

Add an ADDRESS to the field.  The addresses are organized in groups.  If no
group is specified, the default group is taken to store the address in.  If
no ADDRESS is specified, the option must be sufficient to create a
L<Mail::Message::Field::Address|Mail::Message::Field::Address> from.  See the OPTIONS of
L<Mail::Message::Field::Address::new()|Mail::Identity/"METHODS">.

=back

$obj-E<gt>B<addGroup>(GROUP|OPTIONS)

=over 4

Add a group of addresses to this field.  A GROUP can be specified, which
is a L<Mail::Message::Field::AddrGroup|Mail::Message::Field::AddrGroup> object, or one is created for you
using the OPTIONS.  The group is returned.

 Option  Defined in  Default
 name                C<''>  

. name STRING

=back

$obj-E<gt>B<addresses>

=head1 DIAGNOSTICS

I<Warning:> Field content is not numerical: $content

The numeric value of a field is requested (for instance the C<Lines> or
C<Content-Length> fields should be numerical), however the data contains
weird characters.

I<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.

I<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.

I<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.

I<Warning:> Illegal encoding '$encoding', used 'q'

The RFCs only permit base64 (C<b > or C<B >) or quoted-printable
(C<q> or C<Q>) encoding.  Other than these four options are illegal.

I<Error:> No attributes for address fields.

Is is not possible to add attributes to address fields: it is not permitted
by the RFCs.

I<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.
