Dear Monks,

I am facing issues while sending mail using Mail::Mailer module.I need a way to send body containing multiple lines using the Mail::Mailer module. Hope you people might have faced this issue at any of your tasks which used Mail::Mailer. The requirement is, I have to read the contents from a file and need to send the file contents as the body message to the mail.

The problem here is, when i send the mail, the body contains only the first line of the file. The remaining contents are not available in the body part. But, if i replace the newline characters from the file contents with the string  '<br>', the remaining contents are coming properly.

I need your valuable suggestions for,


Here is my code,
my $mailer = new Mail::Mailer 'smtp', Server => 'localhost' or die "Co
+uldn't create a mail object!\n";

my $mail_headers =  {
    'Content-Type' => 'text/plain', #I tried with 'text/html' for html
+ body. But that one was also failed :(
    To => [ $to ],
    From => 'root@mydomain.com',
    Subject => $subject,
};
$mailer->open( $mail_headers );

$mailer->print($mailContents); #$mailContents - Contains the file cont
+ents with new lines.

$mailer->close();
