I need a pointer... I am using Net::SMTP to send an email message but
I need to generate the MIME headers. I checked the NET::SMTP docs but
they don't have what I need. help?

Thanks,

I should have noted: I'm not looking to do an attachment, I just want
to spec the Content-type header for the main message body to force
text/plain.

MIME::Lite would be the easiest option

Tintin:

I looked at that but I could not find an example of using MIME::Lite
hooked up with Net::SMTP - although the Perl docs alluded to the
ability to do that. WOuld you know of any examples that show the
two tied together ?

Thanks,

Thought I'd mention my favorite module for sending mail: Mail::Sender.
It's a packaged module that easily lets you set the headers.
