Hotmail.com vs. MIME:Lite

Hi everyone, (thanks for your tips, Scot). I managed to get my script working. It sends a HTML mail via MIME::Lite, with a.txt attachment. All mail clients I tested worked just fine. The only problem is Hotmail.com!! Hotmail.com neither displays the HTML mail, nor am I able to download the txt

One part is to create a thumbnail image from a regular image. Second part is to create a web page or thumbnail page for viewing. Maybe 10 to 20 images per page. Thanks. Alex > -- > From: fliptop[SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, September 18, 2002 10:52 AM > T

It sounds like you solved the problem already by sending text/plain messages to Hotmail accounts. For some reason I've never had an issue with that, though - maybe it's because I don't actually attach the image that is placed inline; I import it from a location on my website. You could also try fo

I'd suggest checking out Date::Manip from CPAN. I use it to do date comparisons in some of my scripts. Why do you need to convert the date when writing it to the file. Just save the epoch time and use Date::Manip to eval the epoch time in the file to the current epoch time. William -- Lead

Date::Calc is a wonderful thing. If that doesn't work however I would suggest just storing the number of seconds from epoch (aka time) in the log file. Then you simply subtract 30 days worth of seconds aka, 60*60*24*30 seconds -> which you can just use the constant for whatever that comes out

I guess the question I have at this point is why pass the date to the form from the server and then back to a script when the end script could just as easily get the time using the *time* built in? Browser window could be opened with the time being set by the server, two days later when the us

Second part: Depends on how complex you want your thumbnail page to be (of course). Simplest might be to store all your thumbnails to a directory, do an opendir, then while readdir, print your image tag changing only the file name in each case. To complicate matters, you can use the same Imag
