Here is the code which i wrote

open(MAIL,"|$mailprog -t&quot

;
$from='From@from.com';
$mailarray=$mailid.'@from.com';
print MAIL "To: $mailarray \n";
print MAIL "From:$from \n";
#print MAIL "Subject: Test \n\n";
print MAIL "Content-Type: text/html \n\n";
print MAIL "<html>\n";
print MAIL "<head>\n";
print MAIL "</head>\n";
print MAIL "<body>\n";
print MAIL "<img src=conbottom.gif>";
print MAIL "</body>";
print MAIL "</html>";
$|=1;
close (MAIL);

Iam not able to display the subject in the mail what i need to put and also is there any other content type i need to use for displaying the image.

I'm not sure why yours does not work, but, this does. Change the red to something valid and the <IMG SRC to something valid. Maybe you can use this as a starting point and develop from there.

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
$mailprog = [red]'/usr/lib/sendmail'[/red];
$hdr = 'Mail a gif';
$recipient = 'some.sap@nowhere.com';
$command = "$mailprog -f $hdr $recipient";

open (MAIL, "|$command&quot

|| die "Can't open $mailprog!\n";
print MAIL "From: Mr. Saps Boss\n";
print MAIL "Reply-To: \n";
print MAIL "Subject: Mail a gif in some embedded HTML\n";
print MAIL "Content-Type: text/html charset=iso-8859-1\n";
print MAIL "Precedence: bulk\n\n";
print MAIL "<html><body><IMG SRC=\"[red]

http://url.to.some.image

[/red]\">
<h1>testing html</h1></body></html>";
# Send mail to Recipient
close MAIL;
print "complete\n";
exit;

In your #commented subject line, there are two newlines. A blank line indicates the beginning of the body, so if you uncommented that, then your content-type would end up in the body and not the header as you would want. So, if you uncomment that line, then remove the second newline (\n).

BTW, if you

print MAIL qq~delimiting "the" strings "with" qq then you wouldn't have to \"escape\" any quotes~;
