Mail::Message::Head::ListGroup - mailinglist related header fields
=head1 INHERITANCE
Mail::Message::Head::ListGroup
is a Mail::Message::Head::FieldGroup
is a Mail::Reporter
=head1 SYNOPSIS
my $lg = Mail::Message::Head::ListGroup->new(head => $head, ...);
$head->addListGroup($lg);
my $lg = $head->addListGroup(...);
$lg->delete;
=head1 DESCRIPTION
A I<list group> is a set of header fields which are added by mailing-list
managing software. This class knowns various details about that software.
The knowledge and test messages which are used to initially implement
this module is taken from Mail::ListDetector, written by
Michael Stevens <mailto:michael@etla.org>. The logic is redesigned to
add flexibility and use the powerful MailBox features.

=item $obj-E<gt>B<rfc>
When the mailing list software follows the guidelines of one of the dedicated

Scan the header for fields which are usually contained in mailing list
software. This method is automatically called when a list group is

Returned are the names of the list header fields found, in scalar
context the amount. An empty list/zero indicates that this is not
a mailing list message.
Please warn the author of MailBox if you see that to few
or too many fields are included.

=head1 DETAILS
=head2 Mailing list fields
=head3 Detected lists
The L<Mail::Message::Head::ListGroup|Mail::Message::Head::ListGroup> class can detect many different
mailing lists, some of which are very popular and some of which are
rare.
Numerous fields in a header are addded when the message is passed
through a mailing list server. Each list software has defined its own
fields, sometimes woth conflicting definitions. There are also two
RFCs about mailing list: C<rfc2919> and C<rfc2369>.
The following lists are currently detected. Between parenthesis is
the string returned by L<type()|Mail::Message::Head::FieldGroup/"Access to the header"> when that differs from the software
name.

=head1 DIAGNOSTICS
=over 4
=item Error: Cannot convert "$string" into an address object
The L<new(address)|Mail::Message::Head::ListGroup/"Constructors"> is coerced into a L<Mail::Message::Field::Address|Mail::Message::Field::Address>,
which fails. Have a look at L<Mail::Message::Field::Address::coerce()|Mail::Message::Field::Address/"Constructors">
to see what valid arguments are.
=item Error: Package $package does not implement $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.
