## NAME

MIME::Field::ConTraEnc - a "Content-transfer-encoding" field

## DESCRIPTION

A subclass of Mail::Field.

Don't use this class directly... its name may change in the future! Instead, ask Mail::Field for new instances based on the field name!

## SYNOPSIS

        use Mail::Field;
        use MIME::Head;

        # Create an instance from some text:
        $field = Mail::Field->new('Content-transfer-encoding', '7bit');

        # Get the encoding.
        #    Possible values: 'binary', '7bit', '8bit', 'quoted-printable',
        #    'base64' and '' (unspecified).  Note that there can't be a
        #    single default for this, since it depends on the content type!
        $encoding = $field->encoding;
