NAME
       Mail::Field::Generic - implementation for inspecific fields

INHERITANCE
        Mail::Field::Generic
          is a Mail::Field

SYNOPSIS
        use Mail::Field;
        my $field = Mail::Field->new('Subject', 'some subject text');
        my $field = Mail::Field->new(subject => 'some subject text');

DESCRIPTION
       A generic implementation for header fields without own implementation. This is fine for
       fields like "Subject", "X-Mailer", etc., where the field holds only a string of no
       particular importance/format.

       See documentation in the base class.

DIAGNOSTICS
       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.
