       use this yourself, you probably need to use
       Mail::Message::Construct::Read.

       Error: class $package does not implement method $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.  Cast by
           notImplemented()

       Error: parser $type does not extend $pkg.
           Cast by defaultParserType()

       Warning: unexpected end of header in $source:\n $line
           Cast by readHeader()
