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.

    Extends "DESCRIPTION" in Mail::Field.

METHODS
    Extends "METHODS" in Mail::Field.

  Constructors
    Extends "Constructors" in Mail::Field.

    Mail::Field::Generic->combine($fields)
        Inherited, see "Constructors" in Mail::Field

    Mail::Field::Generic->extract( $tag, $head [, $index ] )
        Inherited, see "Constructors" in Mail::Field

    Mail::Field::Generic->new( $tag [, STRING | %options] )
        Inherited, see "Constructors" in Mail::Field

  "Fake" constructors
    Extends ""Fake" constructors" in Mail::Field.

    $obj->create(%options)
         -Option--Default
          Text    ''

        Text => STRING

    $obj->parse( [STRING] )
        Set the new text, which is empty when no STRING is provided.

  Accessors
    Extends "Accessors" in Mail::Field.

    $obj->set(%options)
        Inherited, see "Accessors" in Mail::Field

    $obj->stringify()
        Inherited, see "Accessors" in Mail::Field

    $obj->tag()
    Mail::Field::Generic->tag()
        Inherited, see "Accessors" in Mail::Field

  Smart accessors
    Extends "Smart accessors" in Mail::Field.

    $obj->text( [STRING] )
        Inherited, see "Smart accessors" in Mail::Field

DETAILS

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.
