trying to send emails via SMTP 1

[jcarrott]

I have loaded and tried MIME::Lite. It has limitation, like the one line of text for the body of the email, I can't set the priority of the email, and I can't bold text in the subject line or in an attachment.

Is there another way to send an email?

You can't bold text in the subject line of an email. That's not a MIME::Lite limitation, it's the email standard.

I'm pretty certain you can bold text in an attachment, as long as that attachment is of the right type.

What operating system are you running under? You may just be able to make a call to the command-line mail application, like mail under Unix/Linux. Or you could open a connection directly to the SMTP port on your mail server and construct the message content manually... but that really shouldn't be necessary.

The operating system is a Windows server.

Thank you for the help on the Subject line.

Is it possible to set the priority of a email?

As a wild guess, with a little help from my friend Google, I'd say:

    ...
    X-Priority => '1 (Highest)',
    X-MSMail-Priority => 'High',
    ...
