I want to send an HTML mail with an embedded gif from a Unix box to an NT Outlook client.
So I took the example code from the module Mail::Sender, changed the variables to my local ones and Hey Presto it doesn't work!
It sends the html and gif as attachments to a blank E-mail. The HTML should be the body not another attachment. Surely the example is bugged? Can anyone give a working example?
Thanks in advance
Heres the example copied from the documentation 
     If you want to send a HTML with some inline images :

      use strict;
      use Mail::Sender;
      my $recipients = 'somebody@somewhere.com';
      my $sender = new Mail::Sender {smtp => 'your.mailhost.com'};
      if ($sender->OpenMultipart({from => 'itstech2@gate.net', to => $
+recipients,
                            subject => 'Embedded Image Test', subtype 
+=> 'related',
                            boundary => 'boundary-test-1',
                            type => 'multipart/related'}) > 0) {
       $sender->SendFile(
              {description => 'html body',
              ctype => 'text/html; charset=us-ascii',
              encoding => '7bit',
              disposition => 'NONE',
              file => 'test.html'
        });
       $sender->SendFile(
        {description => 'ed\'s gif',
         ctype => 'image/gif',
         encoding => 'base64',
         disposition => "inline; filename=\"apache_pb.gif\";\r\nConten
+t-ID: <ed1>",
         file => 'apache_pb.gif'
        });
       $sender->Close() or die "Close failed! $Mail::Sender::Error\n";
      } else {
       die "Cannot send mail: $Mail::Sender::Error\n";
      }
      __END__

     In the HTML you'll have this :
      ... <IMG src="cid:ed1"> ...
