do you want to send a text attachment in addition to
an html embedded email?
or do you want to show one or the other, ie - if the
person has their email client to only accept text
msgs, it'll show just the plain text message,
otherwise it shows the html...if this is the case, you
can send a mime 1.0 compliant multipart/alternative
email.
html and text.
This will work on hotmail, yahoo, excite, and most
other web-based email services.
----------
my $message = qq(
Content-type: multipart/alternative; boundary="$time"
Mime-version: 1.0
--$time
Content-type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7-bit
$msg_text
--$time
Content-type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7-bit
$msg_html
--$time--
);
