cat << EOF
Email::Abstract provides module writers with the ability to write simple,
representation-independent mail handling code. For instance, in the cases of
Mail::Thread or Mail::ListDetector, a key part of the code involves reading
the headers from a mail object. Where previously one would either have
to specify the mail class required, or to build a new object from scratch,
Email::Abstract can be used to perform certain simple operations on an object
regardless of its underlying representation.

Email::Abstract currently supports Mail::Internet, MIME::Entity, Mail::Message,
Email::Simple and Email::MIME. Other representations are encouraged to create
their own Email::Abstract::* class by copying Email::Abstract::EmailSimple. All
modules installed under the Email::Abstract hierarchy will be automatically
picked up and used.
