in thread Encoding for MIME::Lite?

hey, Clint, I'm sooo happy I can ask you about this...

multipart/alternative cannot use quoted-printable encoding, per MIME::Lite error message I get when I try to do that. My problem is that our MS Exchange server sees a long string of text from my longer forms, >1000 chars, and rejects the email.

I used to have this same problem with Zen Cart, and solved it by changed the encoding to quoted-printable, but I can't see how to do that with MIME::Lite, using multipart/alternative. The quoted-printable encoding is rejected.

    I haven't tried that for a while, but I don't remember there being a problem with using multipart/alternative with quoted printable encoding.

    That said, why don't you try dropping the encoding completely - MIME::Lite is very good at handling this stuff automatically.

    So try this:

    $msg = MIME::Lite->new( To => $email_to, From => $email_of_sender, Subject => $email_subject, Type => 'multipart/alternative', ); $msg->attach( Type => 'TEXT', Data => $email_body ); $msg->attach( Type => 'text/html', Data => $email_html ); $msg->send;

      I got it solved!!! (apologies if this is duplicate post, not familiar with the structure of this board.)

      I had to move the Encode statement into the attach part, out of the main header.
      $msg = MIME::Lite->new( To =>$form_data{'email'}, From =>$email_of_admin, Subject =>$email_subject, Type =>'multipart/alternative' ); $msg->attach(Type => 'text/plain', Data => $email_body ); $msg->attach(Type => 'text/html', Encoding => 'quoted-printable', Data => $email_html ); $msg->send;


      muchas gracias!!!
