Good morning,

as the subjects says: I need a recommendation for a package helping me to create correct MIME e-mails.

Why am I asking here? I found MIME::Lite where there is the following statement:

"MIME::Lite is not recommended by its current maintainer. There are a number of alternatives, like Email::MIME or MIME::Entity[...]"
Ok, I looked at Email::MIME. Did a litte example and found a bug IMHO. Looking at the bug database gave me the feeling that this package is not heavily maintained. But probably I'm wrong. Then I had a look at MIME::Entity which seems to be used, but almost all reviews are complaining about documentation and gave me the feeling to have a steep learning curve while having to look at the code.

Now, I need advice before I bet on one of them (or a totally different package).

By the way: Perl Email Project seems to be also rather comatose.

Any hints welcome.

Best regards
Andreas Mock
