Fair enough. % you're in the ascii-only camp, HTML mail isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Unfortunate, I think. % People will ask how to generate and parse it, and there are plenty of Perl % tools and modules to do so. Agreed. As I said, I'm sure there's a tool. % % I see that it was said "only a really cool mail reader" can handle MIME % messages. I guess that's true if Outlook, Outlook Express, Netscape Mail, % Eudora Light, Eudora Pro, recent versions of Lotus, popular 'web-based' mail % readers such as Yahoo, Hotmail, Webmail, and most other popular mail readers % would be considered really cool. The only mail readers I have seen that Heavens, no! Most of them wouldn't even see that bit; what I said was that only a really cool mailreader could see that -- *not* that only a really cool mailreader could handle MIMEd mail. The only cool MUA out there is mutt anyway :-) % don't handle MIME messages very well are older copies of CCmail, Z-mail, and % Pine. Does PINE do anything well? <ducks> % % If you want to create HTML mail or other MIME mail, the most effective way % I've found to do it is to use the MIME::Lite module. It can also be used to % send HTML mail or various types of attachments. If interested in learning % more about it, just go to CPAN and search the module documentation. As I said, I don't know how to write it but I'm sure there's a module. I'm glad that there's now been at least one suggestion of one to get Fred moving (if, in fact, he hasn't solved this already; Camilo's email intimated that he had, which means we're pursuing the ultimate beating of a dead horse here :-) % % Scot Robnett % inSite Internet Solutions % [EMAIL PROTECTED] % [EMAIL PROTECTED] HAND :-D -- David T-G * It's easier to fight for one's principles (play) [EMAIL PROTECTED] * than to live up to them. -- fortune cookie (work) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.justpickone.org/davidtg/ Shpx gur Pbzzhavpngvbaf Qrprapl Npg!
