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 won't find this module useful at all, or at best a huge overkill.
