HTML::Mail 0.02_05

HTML::Mail is a Perl extension for sending emails with embedded HTML and media.

SYNOPSIS

use HTML::Mail;

### initialisation
my $html_mail = HTML::Mail->new(
HTML => http://www.cpan.org,
Text => This is the text representation of the webpage http://www.cpan.org,
From => me@myhost.org,
To => you@yourhost.org,
Subject => CPAN webpage);

### Send the email ("inherited" from MIME::Lite)
$html_mail->send();

#### Remove text representation
$html_mail->set_Text();

### Rebuild the message and send
$html_mail->build->send;

### Serialise to file for later reuse
$html_mail->dump_file(/tmp/cpan_mail.data);

### Restore from file
my $restored = HTML::Mail->restore_file(/tmp/cpan_mail.data);

HTML::Mail is supposed to help with the task of sending emails with HTML and images (or other media) embedded or externally linked. It uses MIME::Lite for all MIME related jobs, HTML::Parser to find related files and change the URIs and LWP::UserAgent to retrieve the related files.

Email can be multipart/alternative if both HTML and Text content exist and multipart/related if there is only HTML content.

If all you want is to send text-only email, you probably wont find this module useful at all, or at best a huge overkill.
