NAME

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

CLASS INHERITANCE

Mail::Message::Field::Flex is a Mail::Message::Field

SYNOPSIS

See Mail::Message::Field

DESCRIPTION

This is the flexible implementation of a field: it can easily be extended because it stores its data in a hash and the constructor (new) and initializer (init) are split. However, you pay the price in performance. The Mail::Message::Field::Fast packages is faster (as the name predicts).
