DESCRIPTION
       The Mail::Internet class of messages is very popular for all kinds of
       message applications written in Perl.  However, the format was
       developed when e-mail messages where still small and attachments where
       rare; Mail::Message is much more flexible in this respect.

       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: converting from Mail::Internet but got a $what.
           Cast by from()

       Error: export message must be a Mail::Message object, but is $what.
           Cast by export()
