=head1 NAME

Email::MIME::Header - the header of a MIME message

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This object behaves like a standard Email::Simple header, with the following
changes:

=over 4

=item * the C<header> method automatically decodes encoded headers if possible

=item * the C<header_raw> method returns the raw header; (read only for now)

=item * stringification uses C<header_raw> rather than C<header>
