Publisher review:MIMEMail Script allows you to send HTML mails including images and stylesheets. MIMEMail Script allows you to send HTML mails including images and stylesheets. Images and files will be included into the mail body and will be sent to the recipient(s).
MIME mails (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) can consist of more than just plain text. Once the recipients got your e-mail, they don't need to be online to see the images or load the stylesheets, since they are included in the mail body.
So one benefit is that your e-mails can be viewed offline at any time, and the second is that all the included images and stylesheets will not be loaded from your server every time somebody opens your e-mail, like they would if you just linked them. This means less traffic for your server, and no more missing files.
If you include attachments and Perl can not locate the files e.g. because of a wrong path, they won't be sent. Same goes of course for images and stylesheets inside your mail body.
So before starting a mailing you should first send the e-mail to an address of yours, or save the e-mail using the saveDir option, and check if everything works like it should. You can put the e-mails into sendmail's mail queue instead of sending them immediately by using the useQueue option.
This is useful if you are sending lots of e-mails, because by using the queue Perl doesn't have to wait for each e-mail until it is actually sent, thus making the script much faster.
The drawback is that by using the mail queue you leave it to the MTA when your e-mails are being sent. This can take minutes or even hours, depending on server load and queue size.
