shan_emails has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi All,

while sending mail using MIME::Lite module it shows the attachment symbol (in Linux Evolution 2.26.1 only) even when not sending without the attachment.

I am using the perl code is as follows.
use MIME::Lite; my $mail=new MIME::Lite From=>'me@myhost.com', To=>'you@yourhost.com', Cc=>'', Bcc=>'', Subject=>'check subject line', Type=>'multipart/mixed'; attach $mail Type=>'TEXT/HTML', Data=>'check whether attachment symbol coming or not'; MIME::Lite->send('smtp', "smtp.tnq.co.in", Timeout=>60); $mail->send; quiet MIME::Lite 1;


Note: but not shows the attachment symbol in Thunderbird

Thank you all in advance.

    1) its a bug in Linux Evolution 2) something is making attachments on your box 3) its a bug in Thunderbird 4) multipart/mixed with a single attachment is still an attachment, what did you expect? :D
