I see the recommendation to use Email::Sender, but are there docs
available?


You have sent this message at an excellent time!  Email::Sender::Simple is
potentially done, and I've written a quickstart guide, just last night.


OK I'm hooked.  How much more potential is there?  :-)

I've been trying for a good and simple way to send email from Windows 
and Linux systems.  So E:S:S looks like it would fill the bill.  In fact 
I think I've tried and used (with differing success) Email::Sender and 
friends but never came up with a consistent tool/method that worked for 
both OS'.

I tend to either send plain text or html formatted messages.  If I
send an html messages and I don't also have a plain text version I
want to extract text and links from the html to make a plain text
part.


You might like the BBC's Email::MIME::CreateHTML:

  Email-MIME-CreateHTML

I think it does everything you want.

I think I've nearly got all our internal features into Simple.  One that didn't
make it is the archiver, which I will release later as a subclass of Simple.
It basically says after send_email, send AGAIN to ANOTHER transport, but throw
away any failure.  We use this to keep a copy of all the automated messages we
send out without having to write code to do so explicitly.

The current dev release of Simple doesn't yet try to use Sendmail transport, it
just starts with SMTP.  The next release will try Sendmail first, and fall back
to SMTP.

Real life experience with using it welcome!
