=head1 NAME

Mail::Box::MH::Labels - maintain MH message related labels

=head1 INHERITANCE

Mail::Box::MH::Labels
   is a Mail::Reporter

=head1 SYNOPSIS

my $labels = Mail::Box::MH::Labels->new;
 $labels->read(...)
 $labels->write(...)

=head1 DESCRIPTION

MH type message folders use one dedicated file per folder-directory to list
special tags to messages in that folder.  By doing this, mail agents may
avoid parsing all the messages, which is very resource consuming.

Labels can be used to group messages, for instance to reflect which
messages have been read or which look like spam.  Some labels are
predefined, but more can be added without limitation.
