+Email::Abstract provides module writers with the ability to write
+simple, representation-independent mail handling code. For instance, in
+the cases of Mail::Thread or Mail::ListDetector, a key part of the code
+involves reading the headers from a mail object. Where previously one
+would either have to specify the mail class required, or to build a new
+object from scratch, Email::Abstract can be used to perform certain
+simple operations on an object regardless of its underlying
+representation.
