A Really Ruby Mail Library

Mail::Header#initialize

Creates a new header object.

Accepts raw text or nothing.  If given raw text will attempt to parse
it and split it into the various fields, instantiating each field as
it goes.

If it finds a field that should be a structured field (such as content
type), but it fails to parse it, it will simply make it an unstructured
field and leave it alone.  This will mean that the data is preserved but
no automatic processing of that field will happen.  If you find one of
these cases, please make a patch and send it in, or at the least, send
me the example so we can fix it.
