Try something like the following (untested) code:

use Mail::Bulkmail; my ($subject, $message); open(MSG, "message.txt"); while (<MSG>) { if ($_ =~ /^[Ss]ubject:\s*(\S*)/) { $subject = $1; } else { $message .= $_; } } close MSG; my $bulk = new Mail::Bulkmail( Message => $message, Subject => $subject, From => 'Home', LIST => 'email.txt' use_envelope => 1, ); $bulk->bulkmail();

If you have an older version of Mail::Bulkmail than you can simplify this even more by using the HFM (Headers From Message) feature that has dissapeared from version 3.x.

use Mail::Bulkmail; open(MSG, "message.txt"); undef $/; my $message = <MSG>; close MSG; my $bulk = new Mail::Bulkmail( Message => $message, From => 'Home', LIST => 'email.txt' use_envelope => 1, HFM => 1, # pull headers from message );
