Hi again
feel free to shoot me down, I admit I am still learning here
The basics at present involve a perl script which attaches headers to
the emails sent
as so
print MAIL "X-Loop-Detect: 1\n";
print MAIL "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
print MAIL "Content-Type: text/plain\n";
print MAIL "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n";
print MAIL "xxxxx\n";
print MAIL "return-receipt: 'xxxx\@xxxxxxxxx.com'\n";
print MAIL "From: $from\n";
print MAIL "To: $recips\n\n";
print MAIL @message;
this results in headers
>From xxxxxx@??? Fri Nov 17 21:11:18 2000

I recieve e-mails that are in plain text but with pound signs so how is
it done
Obviously all the xxx's have proper email addresses
Any help appreciated
