NAME

Mail::Message::Field::Fast - one line of a message header

CLASS HIERARCHY

 Mail::Message::Field::Fast
 is a Mail::Message::Field

SYNOPSIS

 See L<Mail::Message::Field>

DESCRIPTION

See Mail::Message::Field. This is the faster, but less flexible implementation of a header field. The data is stored in an array, and some hacks are made to speeds things up. Be gentle with me, and consider that each message contains many of these lines, so speed is very important here.
