@unnumberedsec NAME

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

@unnumberedsec DESCRIPTION

A subclass of Mail::Field.  

@emph{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!

@unnumberedsec SYNOPSIS

@example
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;
@end example
