Revision history for Perl extension Mail::Sender.
I am sorry I did not keep track of the changes :-(
Version 0.4 :
I added several methods for most common tasks.
MailMsg : Send a string as a mail by single call
MailFile : The same plus attached files
SendFile : Insert a file as a part of a multipart message
Send(Line)Enc : Automatic encoding (Base64,Quoted-Printable)
Version 0.5 :
Cancel : cancel an Opened message.
$sender->{'error'} : last error for this object.
@Errors : a list of error messages.
Several minor fixes.
Version 0.6 :
fixed problems with Base64 encoding. Files are now read, encoded and
sent in parts instead of whole at once. You may call SendEnc several
times in one part now.
...
Version 0.6.6 : Added support for CC: and BCC:.
Version 0.6.9b : 7/19/1999 - BETA
Open(), MailMsg and MailFile accept ctype, and encoding parameters.
You have more options in Part() and Body(). It's possible to send HTML
mails with inlined images easily now.
Error -5 (Unspecified communication error) now includes the actual
error returned by the mail server.
Some more examples in the docs.
Mail::Sender now tries to guess the content type for attached files.
You may now create not only multipart/mixed but also multipart/related
or other messages.
Version 0.7.00
Mail/Sender.config file may be used to set up default options for
new Mail::Sender. You may install a function that gets called for every
message.
Version 0.7.01 - 12/9/1999
bugfix (qmail would not accept attachments)
Version 0.7.02 - 8/1/19100
bugfix
Don't tell me I'm stuuupid, I know it. Ever tried to send en email
with a line consisting of only a single dot?
Version 0.7.03 - 14/1/19100
bugfix
Don't tell me I'm stuuupid, I know it. As Jan Starzynski <jan@planet.de>
pointed out it ate the last character on each line in SendEx() (Used in SendFile)
under Unix. Oh well :-(
Version 0.7.04 - 8/1/19100
bugfix
A fix only in the configuration script because of some unimportant
problems with PPM instalation. No change to the module itself.
Version 0.7.05 - 25/1/19100
Added fake_from, fake_to and fake_cc options to
new/Open/OpenMultipart/MailMsg/MailFile.
This allows you to send a message to a list of people, while including
only the list name/address in the headers. The fake_... may be whatever
text you like, doesn't need to look like an address.
Version 0.7.06
bugfix
Version 0.7.07 - 4/4/2001

public)
Improved compatibility with some BSD versions (using sockaddr_in() instead of pack())
