Guys, I am trying to use MIME::Lite to send email attachments. My prob is that the content of my attachments get printed INSIDE the email text, when they shouldnt be. Any suggestions on how I can keep them separated? Thanks..Robert PS. Here is my code: 
#!/usr/local/bin/perl

use MIME::Lite;
my $str;


### Create a new multipart message:
$msg = MIME::Lite->new( 
    From    =>'robert@idi.net',
    To      =>'robert@idi.net',
    Cc      =>'some@other.com, some@more.com',
    subject =>'Here is an GIF and a text file attachment for you, cour
+tesy of MIME::Lite',

    # Tried all the multipart types...
        Type    =>'multipart/digest',
    #Type    =>'text/plain',
    Data    =>'Included with this email is a text file and a gif.',
);
                      
### Add parts (each "attach" has same arguments as "new")

$msg->attach(Type         =>'image/gif',
    Path         =>'/home/robert/newsroom.gif',
    Encoding     => "base64",
    Filename     =>'newsroom.gif'
);

$msg->attach(Type         =>'text/html',
    Path         =>'/home/robert/attachme.txt',
    Filename     =>'attachme.txt'
);



$msg->send("smtp");
