The ->header method returns an empty scalar string "" if the requested header is not found. This method should idealy return an undefined value. MacGyveR

I agree with this, in theory, but it needs to be tested, at least against the rest of Email::Simple's dependencies. I don't think it will cause a problem, but better safe than sorry. I've added this point to the discussion at: http://pep.pobox.com/wiki/Email::Simple
