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