Perl Mime::Lite question. Help please?

[Zev Steinhardt]

I'm trying to use Mime::Lite to send out multipart messages. So far,
it all seems to work well except for one small part.

I want to display a "real name" along with the email address when I
send out the emails. Unfortuantely, whenever I do so, it gets bounced
by the program as an invalid email address.

For example, this works:

$msg = MIME::Lite->new(
From => 'm*@mymail.com' ,
To => 's******@hismai l.com',
Subject => $subject,
Type =>'multipart/alternative'
);
### Attach a part... the make the message a multipart
automatically:
$msg->attach(Type =>'text/plain',
Data =>$text_letter
);

$msg->attach(Type =>'text/html',
Data =>$html_letter
);

MIME::Lite->send('smtp', $MAIL_RELAY, Timeout=>$MAIL_ TIMEOUT) ||
die "Could not send mail!!";

$msg->send_by_smtp(' my.mailrelay.co m');
However, if I change the From line to 'Wayne <me@myaddress.c om>' it
fails as a bad address. I've tried using send_by_sendmai l as well as
send_by_smtp and am nearly at my wits end. Does anyone have any
ideas?

Thanking you in advance,

Lite is very fussy about the format of the recipients.... try something like this:

$Recipient = "\"$RealName\"\ <$email\>";
