DESCRIPTION

Enhanced version of the module Mail::Sendmail with multibytes encoding
and attachments. It is pure Perl solution.

From Mail::Sendmail:

"Simple  platform  independent  e-mail  from  your  perl script. Only
requires Perl 5 and a network connection. Mail::Sendmail takes a hash
with  the  message  to  send  and sends it to your mail server. It is
intended to be very easy to setup and use."


In Mail::Sendmail::Enhanced two things were added:

1. Encoding - which uses the refurbish function B<encode_qp> from the
module  MIME::QuotedPrint::Perl  which  is put into  the current one.
This is pure Perl solution.

Simple  encoding  multibytes  character long header field  "Subject:"
caused that  some characters were  divided  between  two folded rows.
Some email clients are not able to put together these separated bytes
into one character  and words were displeyed  inproperly.  Since  the
version 0.02 this problem is solved by keeping bytes of one character
in one folded row.

2. Attachments - which allows to add attachments easily.  It makes it
by using the technique connected with "multipart/mixed" and "boundary"
'Content-Type' attribute.

List of files to send (attachments) is given as a simple hash:

  attachments => {
    'name for email of the file1' => 'OS file1 location',
    'name for email of the file2' => 'OS file2 location',
  },

where the keys of the hash are "public" (in email) names of files and
values of the hash are these files OS locations, respectively.

It possible to do additional specificification of sending attachments
throug the parameter B<attachments_size_max>. The possible values are:

  attachments_size_max =>  0,       # No limit for sizes of attachments

  attachments_size_max => -1,       # Negative value means that sending attachments is forbidden.
                                    # Every try of sending them with this value negative is fatal one.

  attachments_size_max => 100000,   # Positive value is maximum size limit of attachment.
                                    # When attachment is bigger then fatal error is return;
