This implementation follows the guidelines of rfc2822 as close as possible, and may there produce a different output than implementations based on the obsolete rfc822. However, the old output will still be accepted.

These objects each store one header line, and facilitates access routines to the information hidden in it. Also, you may want to have a look at the added methods of a message:

my @from = $message->from;
my $sender = $message->sender;
my $subject = $message->subject;
my $msgid = $message->messageId;

my @to = $message->to;
my @cc = $message->cc;
my @bcc = $message->bcc;
my @dest = $message->destinations;

my $other = $message->get(Reply-To);
