=head1 NAME
Mail::Field::AddrList - object representation of e-mail address lists
=head1 INHERITANCE
Mail::Field::AddrList
is a Mail::Field
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Mail::Field::AddrList;
$to = Mail::Field->new('To');
$from = Mail::Field->new('From', 'poe@daimi.aau.dk (Peter Orbaek)');
$from->create('foo@bar.com' => 'Mr. Foo', poe => 'Peter');
$from->parse('foo@bar.com (Mr Foo), Peter Orbaek <poe>');
# make a RFC822 header string
print $from->stringify(),"\n";
# extract e-mail addresses and names
@addresses = $from->addresses(); # strings
@names = $from->names(); # strings
@addr = $from->addr_list(); # Mail::Address objects (v2.00)
# adjoin a new address to the list
$from->set_address('foo@bar.com', 'Mr. Foo');
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Defines parsing and formatting of address field, for the following
fields: C<To>, C<From>, C<Cc>, C<Reply-To>, and C<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 understood. Use Mail::Message::Field::Full
in MailBox if you need full RFC compliance.

=head1 DIAGNOSTICS
=over 4
=item Error: Undefined subroutine <method> called
Mail::Field objects use autoloading to compile new functionality.
Apparently, the method called is not implemented for the specific
class of the field object.
