Mail::Sender code change

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi, Mail::Sender is deprecated and I have to migrate some old code to a new server. Can someone suggest an alternative that supports high priority emails? In the old code all that was required was a priority => 2, option adding to the Open function. I've googled around and can send some emails using other modules but can't set priority. To be honest emailing from Perl seems far more messy these days than it was 10 years ago. I've been using Email::Stuffer can get work out how to set email priority with it and I don't really like method chaining code.

Hello Anonymous Monk, There is a previously asked question Setting priority mail on this forum. Also you can check this sample of code (Perl) Send High Priority Email (SMTP, X-Priority header). Hope this helps, BR. Seeking for Perl wisdom...on the process of learning...not there...yet!	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Priority in Mail::Sender is just a header field 'X-Priority' with values from 1 to 5. So all you need is to set a header field: `# Email::Stuffer $email->header( 'X-Priority' => 1 ); # Email::Simple $email->header_set( 'X-Priority' => 1 );` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Well ... it may be deprecated, but if it works, why change the scripts? While it's unlikely to get much love from the current maintainer anymore and thus the likelihood of adding support for new SMTP extensions is small, the "deprecated" doesn't mean it's gonna disappear. Jenda 1984 was supposed to be a warning, not a manual!	[reply]
