Re^3: Encoding for MIME::Lite?

Here's the problem:


    $msg->attach(
        Type => 'text/html',
        Data => encode_qp($email_html)
     );
[download]

You're encoding twice. MIME::Lite does that for you - there's no need to call encode_qp yourself.

thanks, Clint! I've tried it with `use MIME::QuotedPrint;`, with `Data => $email_html` and with and without this line: `$msg->attr('Encoding' => 'quoted-printable');` and it still generates this error in both cases: `A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) faile +d: webmaster@coreknowledge.org SMTP error from remote mail server after end of data: host mail.coreknowledge.org [216.12.92.18]: 500 Line too long` [download] any guidance you can offer would be AWESOME. My old, very deprecated mail-lib.pl never caused this particular problem. :-( but of course it never handled HTML multipart/alternative email, either. ---Opally	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I didn't say use MIME::QuotedPrint - I said drop the qp_encode. Set the `Encoding` to whatever you want as per the docs in MIME::Lite, and the module will handle the encoding for you. Clint	[reply] [d/l]

hey, Clint, I'm sooo happy I can ask you about this... multipart/alternative cannot use quoted-printable encoding, per MIME::Lite error message I get when I try to do that. My problem is that our MS Exchange server sees a long string of text from my longer forms, >1000 chars, and rejects the email. I used to have this same problem with Zen Cart, and solved it by changed the encoding to quoted-printable, but I can't see how to do that with MIME::Lite, using multipart/alternative. The quoted-printable encoding is rejected. ---Opally	[reply]
