DESCRIPTION

Defines parsing and formatting of address field, for the following fields: To, From, Cc, Reply-To, and 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.
