SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION
The "Mail::Reporter" class is the base class for all classes, except Mail::Message::Field::Fast because it would become slow... This base class is used during initiation of the objects.

METHODS
The "Mail::Reporter" class is the base for nearly all other objects. It can store and report problems, and contains the general constructor new().

  Constructors

$class->new(%options)
    This is the base constructor for all modules, (as long as there is no need for another base object)

  Attributes

  Error handling

$obj->AUTOLOAD()
    By default, produce a nice warning if the sub-classes cannot resolve a method.

$obj->notImplemented()

  Cleanup

$obj->DESTROY()
    Cleanup the object.

DIAGNOSTICS

Error: class $package does not implement method $method.
    Fatal error: the specific $package (or one of its superclasses) does not implement this method where it should. This message means that some other related classes do implement this method however the class at hand does not. Probably you should investigate this and probably inform the author of the package. Cast by notImplemented()
