Subject: 8bit content not encoded to 7bit for SMTP
Hello, SMTP is not an 8 bit clean protocol so ideally email messages should be encoded into a 7bit encoding - for example using http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quoted-printable Arguably this should be done before the email is sent using Email::Send - but would it be worth having a flag 'encode_8bit_content' that would automatically do this for you? Or is there a better way? I'm just thinking that the encoding only really applies to SMTP transport and perhaps not to the other forms? Happy to do the coding if this is a desirable feature.
This is the responsibility of the underlying message representation. For example, use Email::MIME, which will handle setting up the content-transfer-encoding. Email-Send is problematic software and I suggest abandoning it and upgrading to Email::Sender. -- rjbs
