14 $msg->to('user@host');

18 $msg->bcc('someone@else');

22 $msg->delete($header);

24 # Launch mailer and set headers. The filehandle returned
25 # by open() is an instance of the Mail::Mailer class.
26 # Arguments to the open() method are passed to the Mail::Mailer
27 # constructor.
28
29 $fh = $msg->open; # some default mailer
30 $fh = $msg->open('sendmail'); # explicit
31 print $fh "Body of message";
32 $fh->close # complete the message and send it
33 or die "couldn't send whole message: $!\n";

36 Mail::Send creates e-mail messages without using the Mail::Header
37 knowledge, which means that all escaping and folding must be done by
38 you! Simplicity has its price.

43 Constructors
44 Mail::Send->new(PAIRS)
45 A list of header fields (provided as key-value PAIRS) can be used
46 to initialize the object.
47
48 Header fields
49 $obj->add($fieldname, @values)
50 Add values to the list of defined values for the $fieldname.
51
52 $obj->bcc(@values)
53 $obj->cc(@values)
54 $obj->delete($fieldname)
55 $obj->set($fieldname, @values)
56 The @values will replace the old values for the $fieldname.
57 Returned is the LIST of values after modification.
58
59 $obj->subject(@values)
60 $obj->to(@values)
61
62 Sending
63 $obj->open(%options)
64 The %options are used to initiate a mailer object via
65 Mail::Mailer::new(). Then Mail::Mailer::open() is called with the
66 knowledge collected in this Mail::Send object.
