in reply to Mail::SendMail Content -type setting

Hi,

you can pass any SMTP headers as a key-value pair ( hash ) as given below, to Mail::Sendmail 

 use Mail::Sendmail;

  %mail = ( To           => 'you@there.com',
            From         => 'me@here.com',
            Content-Type => 'text/html'
            Message      => "This is a very short message"
           );

  sendmail(%mail) or die $Mail::Sendmail::error;

  print "OK. Log says:\n", $Mail::Sendmail::log;

If you want to send a mail with attachment, you can specify Content-Type as multipart/mime and boundary. You can also send headers like Content-Disposition, Content-Transfer-Encoding etc in the same way.

Cheers !

    ya but I am working on an existing code (which was written by some DUD) and I can't afford the luxury of changing that code too much.I am presenting a similar code here, 
    $sm = new SendMail('Server Name');
$sm->From('aa@bb.com');
$sm->To('xx@yy.com');
$sm->Subject('just kill me');
$str="<HTML><strong>This is mail body</strong></HTML>";
$sm->setMailBody($str);
$sm->sendMail();

    Is there any way(any sub-routine) of specifying the content-type over here??? just like the mail body and from and to addresses

      I does not seem like you are using Mail::Sendmail as suggested above in this thread. The code you provided looks a lot like the synopsis for Net::DNS::Sendmail. From looking at the source code, it does not seem to support setting the Content-Type.

        Hey buddy thanks for that, Actually I am using the module Mail::SendMail not Mail::Sendmail Module.

        And I believe it is not in CPAN, I should find out which guy over here wrote that module.
