Mail::Field::Generic - implementation for inspecific fields Mail::Field::Generic is a Mail::Field use Mail::Field; my $field = Mail::Field->new('Subject', 'some subject text'); my $field = Mail::Field->new(subject => 'some subject text'); 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.
