MIME::Lite is, in my opinion, the worst of the popular email object
modules. It's buggy, has a lousy interface, and just does awful things.
I'd go so far as to say that the number one mistake I see in new email
modules is a reliance on MIME::Lite instead of Mail::Message or Email::MIME.

Oh... I'm so disappointed. I just finished a new project, using what I
thought was a stable module, only to find that this module no longer has
a strong vote of confidence. It would have been oh so simple to start
my new coding with Email::MIME had I only known. Now it's a bit too
late. Durn.
At the very least, could you put an "obsolescent, no longer in high
confidence, use Email::MIME for all new code" in a BUGS section of the POD?
What would be better would be a banner like Email::Send (as it defers to
Email::Sender).

It's too late to save me from building a critical dependency on
MIME::Lite, but it's not too late to direct other new code to its
preferred successor.
