Try something like the following (untested) code:

use Mail::Bulkmail;

my ($subject, $message);
open(MSG, "message.txt"); 
while (<MSG>) { 
  if ($_ =~ /^[Ss]ubject:\s*(\S*)/) { 
     $subject = $1;
  } else { 
    $message .= $_;
  }
} 
close MSG;

my $bulk = new Mail::Bulkmail(
        Message      => $message,
        Subject      => $subject,
        From         => 'Home',
        LIST         => 'email.txt'
        use_envelope => 1,
);

$bulk->bulkmail();

If you have an older version of Mail::Bulkmail than you can simplify this even more by using the HFM (Headers From Message) feature that has dissapeared from version 3.x.

use Mail::Bulkmail;

open(MSG, "message.txt"); 
undef $/;
my $message = <MSG>;
close MSG;
 
my $bulk = new Mail::Bulkmail(
        Message      => $message,
        From         => 'Home',
        LIST         => 'email.txt'
        use_envelope => 1,
        HFM          => 1,  # pull headers from message
);

Do us a favor and explain what you plan to do with this. On its face it looks like you're asking for help with e-mail marketi spam.

I have to send a mass email to a group of people in my company. I have tested it out by sending it to my own email account and it worked. Is there a way to setup a variable with everyones email that will allow me to go through the scrip once rather than use a while loop? Thanks again for the help

Is there a way to setup a variable with everyones email that will allow me to go through the scrip once rather than use a while loop?

Why does it matter? As I already said, your email server may refuse to send emails with an excessive number of recpienents. You are better left to sending one email per address.

$ echo '$0 & $0 &' > foo; chmod a+x foo; foo;

Update: Silly me, didn't realize the problem. Anyway, you could probably use an eval to solve the problem, but as others said, a loop would be easiest (and most reliable).
