Re: Determine Email Headers

[Mike Blezien]

What I was getting at, is a email is sent as a standard plain text message, the 
body content of the message is sent with no problems, but if the message is sent 
as HTML formatted email, then all the HTML elements, tags...etc are included in 
the body of the message.... so I was wondering, when using the Mail::Audit 
module what is the best way to determine which email header "content-type" to 
pass, IE "Content-type: text/html\n" or "Content-Type: text/plain\n" to be 
included in the email message that is then sent to the real email address.

If you happen to have any example coding, it would be much appreciate if you can 
share it :)

TIA

Hello,
we're currently using the Mail::Audit module to process a perl script
that pipes 

email sent to "fake" forward emails address, then send it's to a real 
address,... all works fine except if it's a HTML formatted email. My
question 

is, is it possible with this module to determine if it's HTML or plain
test 

email... or would it be better to simple strip out all the HTML elements.

It appears that Mail::Audit provides a wrapper to a message, if that
message is of a MIME format (which most if not all HTML messages will
be) then you can check the type of the message, and process its various
parts using the MIME::Entity methods. 

Only you can tell us whether or not your users want their HTML e-mail. I
know I would be more than a little pissed if my HTML e-mail ended up in
the bit bucket, not because I am any big fan of HTML e-mail (I am not)
but (much to my dismay ;-)) I don't control everyone elses mail clients
or sending habits...
What do you mean by "all works fine unless it has HTML"... the module,
your program, or something down the line?
