[MIME::Lite] not recognizing carriage-returns in body of message Richard A. Melia 08-18-2005

I am using MIME::Lite to send an e-mail with a file attachment.
Everything works well except for the body of the message.
I am using Type => 'TEXT' and Data => $comment
Where $comment has embedded carriage-returns (\n).
When the message arrives, it is one long string displaying all the \n's that
were embedded.
Can anyone tell me what to do to fix this problem?
Thanks in advance.

The following fits your description:

use warnings;
$comment1 = "This is a comment.\nIt is intended to appear over 2 lines\n";
$comment2 = 'This is a comment.\nIt is intended to appear over 2 lines\n';
print $comment1, "\n", $comment2, "\n";
__END__

The solution in this case is (obviously) to assign in *double* quotes, not
in *single* quotes.

Cheers,
Rob

Rob:

Many thanks - your solution did the trick.
It was so obvious I don't know how I missed it, too focused I guess.

Thanks again,

Richard
