I have inherited a Perl script which sends and parses email. I am having

sub mail(*) {
my $top = shift;
open(MAIL, "| $sendmail -t -oi -oem") or die "open: $!";
$top->print(\*MAIL);
close MAIL;
}
I did a 'man sendmail' on my Unix-based system and came up with this
explanation:
-oi When reading a message from standard input, don't treat a line
with only a . character as the end of input.
but, alas, no explanation for -oem. Try the same command on your
system, or submit the query 'sendmail command line options' to your
favorite search engine
Good luck!
