message.rb class rdoc for fields outdated?

[Schorsch]

The message fields which return header[:fields] f.ex. msg.subject,
msg.from, msg.to have a documentation like:

# mail.from.to_s #=> '"M L" <mi...@test.lindsaar.net>'

but it returns the whole header field in the form of:

"To: Andrew Mopsy <m...@salesking.eu>\r\n"

Has this changed between versions and the doc is outdated? I need to
call the value method of a field to get the value ... wich is
perfectly fine

[Mikel Lindsaar]

Ah, yes, the documentation is outdated.

object#to_s calls the "encoded" method of the object, which is what is inserted into the outputted email, including the field name and the trailing \r\n

If you want to get the value to show to the end user, call object.decoded.
