=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 inderstood.  Use Mail::Message::Field::Full
in MailBox if you need full RFC compliance.
