I'm having a problem with MIME::Lite that I'm not quite sure what is happening. I'm trying to achieve this in the header of the message (sent from Thunderbird):

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed

According to the documentation, to do this I should do something like this:

sub send_message{ $msg = MIME::Lite->new( From => 'someone@somewhere.com', BCc => "$_", Subject => 'Subject', Encoding => '7bit', Type => 'text/plain', Data => "$message" ); $msg->attr("content-type" => "text/plain"); $msg->attr("content-type.charset" => "ISO-8859-1"); $msg->attr("content-type.name" => "flowed"); $msg->send; }

When I do the above, what I get in the message header is:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1"; name="flowed"

Note the quotes around ISO-8859-1 and flowed. Am I misunderstanding the documentation?

Thanks for any enlightenment,
Mike

Update: Thanks GrandFather Great find!
