Hi Joshua,
If you simply wanted to create a multi-line message body as a string then you
could do something like:
$mail{message}="line1\nline2\nline3\n....";
or
$mail{message}=qq{line1
line2
line3
};
If you want to use the contents of a file as the body, use something like.
$oldsep=$/; $/=undef; disable line seperation
open(FIN,"<myfile>")||die "cannot open file: $!\n";
$mail{message}=<FIN>;
close(FIN);
$/=$oldsep;
It disables the record seperator (newline) then reads the whole file into the
hash entry.
