NAME

Email::MIME::Header - the header of a MIME message

VERSION

version 1.921

DESCRIPTION

This object behaves like a standard Email::Simple header, with the following changes:

  • the header method automatically decodes encoded headers if possible

  • the header_raw method returns the raw header; (read only for now)

  • stringification uses header_raw rather than header

Note that header_set does not do encoding for you, and expects an encoded header. Thus, header_set round-trips with header_raw, not header! Be sure to properly encode your headers with Encode::encode('MIME-Header', $value) before passing them to header_set.

Alternately, if you have Unicode (character) strings to set in headers, use the header_str_set method.
