Basically yes. From caller perspective I want to pass email address
object and let Email::MIME to do MIME encoding correctly. Something like
this:
my $email = Email::MIME->create(
header_addr => [
From => Email::Address::XS->new(Name => 'user@host'),
To => [
Email::Address::XS->new(Name2 => 'user2@host'),
Email::Address::XS->new(Name3 => 'user3@host'),
],
],
);
Currently Email::MIME module takes UTF-8 formatted To (or Cc) header,
construct from it Email::Address object, then MIME encode phrase part
and after that format header back to string line.
If I pass Email::Address::XS object directly to Email::MIME, then one
step of decomposition (from ->as_string back to Email::Address object)
will not be needed.
Also in same way I would to pass named group of email addresses, e.g:
my $email = Email::MIME->create(
header_grps => [
To => [
$group_name => [ $address1_obj, $address2_obj ],
],
],
);
Currently Email::MIME from all named groups, because it uses
Email::Address parser and it does not support it.
My Email::Address::XS supports also named groups of addresses, so above
syntax can be implemented via Email::Address::XS module.
