in reply to Email Formatting

If you want to bold text you will need to use html (or some other fancy format). If you send it as a Content-Type: multipart/alternative; Then you can have it both as text and html and the recipient can look at in the the format that is best for them.

I think that MIME::Lite will be of help, along with CGI.

    He wants to send it as email. That implies plain text, where "font", "color", "bold", etc. are foreign concepts. HTML markup has no place in email.

    Call me a dinosaur, but don't call me "got viruses from email".
