problem with Net::Smtp

[neog]

I'm having a problem with Net::Smtp. Does the datasend() method have problems sending strings containing single quotes?

Like I stored the string "Germany's biggest bank, hired" in a hash and it prints out fine when i retrieve the scalar value.
But i do datasend($msg) and when i open the email I see something like "Germany's bigges! t bank, hired". These "!" are popping all over the place.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

No it doesn't have a problem with single quotes. I suppose that the lines of your body are simply too long, and therefore they are being truncated. I cannot predict exactly what your problem is, so I would suggest that you attempt a solution by using MIME::Lite in combination with Net::SMTP.

# Create Message
my $msg = MIME::Lite->new(@content);
 
# Send E-mail
my $smtp = Net::SMTP->new($MAIL_SERVER,
    Hello    => $MAIL_SERVER,
    Port    => $MAIL_PORT,
);
$smtp->mail($from);
$smtp->recipient(@recipients, { SkipBad => 1});
 
$smtp->data($msg->as_string());
$smtp->dataend();
